Rugby Park spaces

Rugby Park offers a range of spaces for hire, ideal for Invercargill events of different sizes and styles. The Main Stand provides 1,950 usable seats, with covered all-weather seating and floodlighting towers installed to full broadcast TV standards. This makes it suitable for both evening events and televised occasions in Southland. The remaining areas of the stand are currently closed. Across the wider venue, there is capacity for up to 15,000 people, making it one of Southland's most capable large-scale event venues.

For smaller gatherings, Rugby Park’s lounge spaces offer an intimate setting, ideal for private functions, meetings or corporate hospitality. The First Fifteen Lounge is available to hire for weddings, conferences and meetings, with self-catering facilities and beautiful city views. It’s a distinctive setting for private functions or corporate events.

Larger events can take advantage of the full venue footprint, with plenty of room for food vendors, entertainment and more.
