Super Rugby 2024: Crusaders confirm home stadium for Super Rugby Aotearoa

The Crusaders have confirmed Orange Theory Stadium as their home ground for their Super Rugby Aotearoa campaign.

When the revamped competition was announced last week, the Christchurch-based franchise was still working through the financials of hosting their four home games.

OrangeTheory Stadium joins Hamilton’s FMG Stadium (Chiefs), Wellington’s Sky Stadium (Hurricanes) and Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium (Highlanders) as venues for the 2023 campaign.

The Blues have yet to lock in their regular base at Auckland’s Eden Park.

The Crusaders haven’t lost a game at the ground since 2016 and coach Scott Robertson is predictably pleased any uncertainty has now been dispelled.

Super Rugby Aotearoa will see the five NZ-based Super Rugby clubs play one another, home and away, over 10 weeks, with two matches every weekend.

The Crusaders have a bye in round one and will play their first game against the Hurricanes on Sunday, June 21 in Wellington.

The side’s first home fixture is against the Chiefs on Sunday, June 28.

Rebels to face Sharks in full-scale rugby clash at Mars Stadium

This will be the first Super Rugby match played for premiership points in the city.

The round four fixture at Mars Stadium on Saturday, February 22, is also the first home game the Rebels have played away from AAMI Park.

Rebels rugby general manager Nick Ryan said it was a significant step to shift a home match and “really exciting” for the club.

He said despite the magnitude of the call, it had been an easy decision to take a game to Ballarat based on the way the city had opened its arms to the Rebels.

Melbourne has had two pre-season camps in Ballarat and played a warm-up game against Queensland Reds at Mars Stadium early this year in the lead up to the Super Rugby season.
