Rugby World Cup 2011 Location: Dunedin
Otago's largest city boasts a beautiful natural harbour, rich native wildlife, elegant heritage buildings, and a proud Scottish heritage. The country's oldest university was founded here in 1869 and Dunedin's lively student scene contributes to the vibrant feel – so expect plenty of festival atmosphere on and off the field. Just a jump from Dunedin is the incredible wildlife of the Otago Peninsula – an area David Bellamy has described as ‘the finest example of eco tourism in the world’. Dunedin will host three games in the 2011 Rugby World Cup which are scheduled to be held at the brand new Forsyth Barr Stadium at University Plaza (building underway and due to open in August 2011).
