Rugby World Cup 2011 Location: Hamilton
Surrounded by the lush farmlands of the Waikato, and just over an hour's drive from New Zealand's famous Waitomo Caves, Hamilton is New Zealand's largest inland city. The Waikato River flows right through the city centre, and you'll find some wonderful riverside walks and gardens. Waikato is a strong rugby region, so will be giving its fans and players a warm Waikato welcome. Hamilton will host three pool games for Rugby World Cup 2011, including the All Blacks game against the Asia qualifier on 16 September. All games will be held at Waikato Stadium
