Auckland Transport is confident this weekend's NRL Nines won't see a repeat of last month's Britomart brawls.

About a hundred people were involved in a fight at the transport centre after Christmas in the Park and Ragamuffin Music Festival.

Further violence at other stations caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage.

Special special operations manager John Stawbridge says extra security will be on duty at the railway stations and the venue.

"We have some more guards deployed in and around the facilities, and on Eden Park," he says.

The event will also be a trial run for next month's Cricket World Cup.
