Match venue - Trafalgar Park, Nelson

Trafalgar Park will be host to two Rugby World Cup 2011 matches.

Trafalgar Park is located in Trafalgar Street in the Nelson Central Business District and is only a five-minute walk from the centre of town.

Throughout the years Trafalgar Park has undergone many upgrades to allow the facility to showcase more and more sport and recreation activities and to seat more people. In recent years the Park has been used for music concerts and other entertainment as well. One of the most attractive aspects of Trafalgar Park is its proximity to the Nelson central business district. Upgrades are being made to Trafalgar Park in 2009 and 2010 that will provide ongoing opportunity for many large venue events - including RWC 2011 - to be held.
