Eden Park, New Zealand’s national stadium has delivered a strong result for the year ended 31 October 2025, reporting a net operating profit (before interest and depreciation) of $4.864m, reinforcing the stadiums’ position as New Zealand’s leading venue for major sport, entertainment, arts and community events.

This performance was achieved within the current planning and resource consent settings under which the stadium operates, highlighting the strength of Eden Park’s operational capability and disciplined approach to event delivery.

After adjusting for minor investment property valuation movements, the Eden Park Trust recorded an adjusted net operating profit of $4.964m, up from $3.224m in 2024.

Eden Park CEO Nick Sautner said the result reflected the delivery of a diverse range calendar of events, continued operational discipline and contributions from a growing portfolio of commercial partners.

“This has been a very positive year for Eden Park, both financially and in terms of the breadth and quality of events we delivered,” Mr Sautner said. “Major international concerts, a full calendar of sporting fixtures together with the ongoing support of our partners and members contributed to the outcome, supported by careful cost management.”

FY2025 was marked by several major milestones across music, sport, arts and community events including more than 160,000 fans attending three sold-out Coldplay concerts, making history as the first artists to perform three consecutive shows at Eden Park. Two Luke Combs concerts in January 2025 further demonstrated the stadium’s ability to attract new audiences and deliver significant economic benefits for Auckland, with visitor spending and hotel occupancy reaching peak levels over the concert periods.

The sporting calendar included international and domestic cricket, football, Super Rugby Pacific and Super Rugby Aupiki fixtures, a one-off rugby international between Manu Samoa and Scotland, and two sold-out All Blacks Tests, including the Freedom Cup match against South Africa, where the All Blacks once again successfully defended their unbeaten record at Eden Park.

Eden Park’s ability to successfully host non-traditional events that broaden the stadium’s audience base was evident throughout the year. Beyond concerts and sport, the stadium hosted a range of arts, cultural and family-focused events, including Art in the Park and Hot Wheels Monster Trucks.

In addition, Eden Park continued to support a variety of non-event day activities, including functions, stadium tours, Staydium Glamping, cultural celebrations and charitable events, aligning with the Trust’s objective of operating the stadium as a sustainable, multi-purpose venue.

“The diversity of content we host continues to demonstrate the Trust’s commitment to operating Eden Park as a world-class, multi-purpose stadium that delivers enduring economic, social and cultural value for Auckland and New Zealand,” Mr Sautner said.

During the year, the Trust also advanced key strategic milestones, including progressing plans for the staged Eden Park 2.1 redevelopment. This work focused on planning, assessment and engagement to ensure the stadium is well positioned to support long-term sustainability and future event demand.

Looking ahead, Mr Sautner said Eden Park is well positioned to build on the momentum achieved during FY2025 as it enters the next phase of delivery and planning.

He said the Trust will continue to focus on delivering a diverse programme of sport, entertainment and community activity, while ensuring the staged Eden Park 2.1 redevelopment is progressed in a financially and environmentally sustainable way.

“Building on the progress made this year, our focus is on continuing to deliver for performers, players, fans, partners and the community, while carefully planning for the long-term evolution of New Zealand’s national stadium,” Mr Sautner said.

“That progress would not be possible without the commitment of our Board, management team, staff, contractors, commercial partners, sporting bodies, event promoters and the surrounding community, whose support and collaboration continue to underpin Eden Park’s success.”
