Team Wellington FC have played all home matches at Newtown Park which has a capacity of 5,000. In 2008, a training pitch was developed next to the playing field which is used by local A-League franchise, the Wellington Phoenix.
As Newtown Park is the primary athletics stadium in the Wellington region, Team Wellington is occasionally required to relocate home fixtures to allow for track and field events to be hosted there. These matches are typically shifted to the 1,000 capacity Porirua Park in Porirua.
