Accommodation Guide For The 2011 Rugby World Cup

New Zealand is the venue for the 2011 rugby world cup, and it takes place during September and October in twelve venues in the North and South Islands.
The North Island has rugby venues in Whangarei, Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua, New Plymouth, Napier, Palmerston North and Wellington.
The South Island has venues at Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill.

Accomodation options range from home stays, motels and backpacker hostels through to top end hotels. There is expected to be a significant number of people entering New Zealand to see the rugby world cup and because of this, booking early will need be essential to ensure you get your preferred accommodation. It may be necessary to travel further from your accommodation to the game day venues if accommodation is not available.

The rugby world cup pool games take place across the twelve separate venues, with some pool groups having matches in both North and South Islands. Wellington and Christchurch host the four quarter final matches, and Auckland the semi-finals and finals.

Auckland is the rugby world cup main venue and it is within a days drive by car to all of the North Island venues. Followers of pool A countries New Zealand, France, Tonga, Canada and Japan could use Auckland as a base as all their pool games are within the North Island. Followers of pool D countries South Africa, Wales, Samoa, Fiji and Namibia have all North Island game venues also.

The pool B and C countries of Australia, Italy, Ireland, USA, Russia, England, Scotland, Argentina and Georgia have their games in both the North and South Islands so travelling will be necessary between the North and South Islands. Commuting options are by plane, or using the ferry to cross between islands for car and camper .

The process of booking accommodation, flights, and rental cars or campers for travelling can be made easy by planning ahead.
