Dunedin
Carisbrook is Dunedin’s main domestic and international Rugby Union venue but it has also been used for other sports such as cricket, football, rugby league and motocross. Matches from Rugby World Cup 2011 have been awarded to Carisbrook. However a decision will be made in 2010 if these matches are to be transferred to the Otago Stadium. Under construction, the Otago Stadium will be a multi-purpose, fully enclosed venue capable of hosting a wide range of music, entertainment, cultural and sporting events.
