Welcome

It’s less than two years away and the people of Otago and Southland – the two southern provinces in the South Island, New Zealand - are gearing up for the biggest celebration New Zealand has ever seen – Rugby World Cup 2011.

SPIN IT WIDE is our catch-cry and we’ll be welcoming teams from England, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, Argentina and their yet-to-be-confirmed opponents to our corner of the world. For us, Rugby World Cup 2011 is a chance to show off everything that’s special to us in our own hospitable way.

Come and SPIN IT WIDE with us. From the remote parts of Fiordland and Stewart Island to Paradise (yes, that’s in the south too), Dunedin, the Otago Peninsula, and on to Oamaru, then through to Central Otago and Queenstown, Rugby World Cup 2011 is about the very best Rugby in the world and much more. Join us and discover it for yourself!

Superb mates, superb freedom, superb heritage, superb adventure, superb Rugby! See you in the south!
