Rights agreement sees Auckland's North Harbour Stadium renamed

A new naming rights agreement between QBE Insurance and the North Harbour Stadium Trust has seen the Auckland venue renamed as the QBE Stadium.

Effective from 1st January, the agreement will run for an initial five year period.

Introducing the sponsorship, QBE Insurance General Manager New Zealand Operations Ross Chapman stated "we are delighted to sponsor the QBE Stadium and to further our support of the North Shore community and for this great venue.

"The area is one of the fastest growing areas within New Zealand and is widely used for sport and recreation by an increasing number of our younger citizens.

"We hope that our sponsorship will help develop the QBE Stadium facilities and support activities for all of the local community."

North Harbour Stadium Trust Chairman Reno Wijnstok added "in QBE we have a very solid partner that has already demonstrated a strong commitment to the North Harbour Region. We look forward to working together and further developing a mutually advantageous relationship."
