Major rugby is played on the number 1 field. Other fixtures are on the 3 outside fields. Cricket is usually played at Pukekura Park, because of the incorrect size of Yarrow Stadium's number 1 field.
The ground played host to three games during the pool play stage of the 2011 Rugby World Cup:
- Ireland vs USA (11 September, final score 26-10)
- USA vs Russia (15 September, final score 13-6)
- Wales vs Namibia (26 September, final score 81-7)

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“At all events there is in Brooklyn
something that makes me feel at home.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
“One cannot be a good historian of the outward, visible world without giving some thought to the hidden, private life of ordinary people; and on the other hand one cannot be a good historian of this inner life without taking into account outward events where these are relevant. They are two orders of fact which reflect each other, which are always linked and which sometimes provoke each other.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Turn where we may, within, around, the voice of great events is proclaiming to us, Reform, that you may preserve!”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
