The New Zealand Automobile Association (NZAA or AA) is a mutual organisation and an incorporated society that provides vehicle breakdown assistance and related services to its members. Founded in New Zealand in 1903, the AA has grown from a pioneering automobile club to a multi-faceted organisation offering motoring advice, insurance, finance, maps and travel guides, and is regarded as a significant advocate for New Zealand motorists within the transport sector and by government.
The AA is a member of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and Alliance Internationale de Tourisme, through which its members can receive reciprocal road service in a number of companies across the world.
