Officials are committing to just the one year of Super Round in Christchurch – for now. 

Christchurch's new stadium will play host to five Super Rugby games over Anzac weekend 2026. 

Super Round took a year out of the schedule this year after the Melbourne Rebels exited the competition. 

NZ Rugby CEO Mark Robinson told Mike Hosking it has always been on the radar to give back to a region that loves its rugby and has been a massive supporter of the game at many levels. 

He says they’re not ruling out the possibility of Christchurch hosting more rounds in the future.
