A push to host more women's sport and big music artists has seen Eden Park have a record breaking year.

In the 12 months to the end of October, the Auckland stadium recorded a net operating profit of $8.2 million- a $4.6 million increase on the previous year.

Large-scale events like the FIFA Women's World Cup and Ed Sheeran concerts were big draw cards for patrons.

CEO Nick Sautner says it's been an incredible turnaround over the past five years.

"Women's sport was seen as a curtain-raiser and concerts weren't permitted. It's a credit to the trustees and our staff, who have worked with the community with various stakeholders to deliver this outstanding outcome."
