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:
“Just as a mirror may be used to reflect images, so ancient events may be used to understand the present.”
—Chinese proverb.
“One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape ... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.”
—Marilyn French (b. 1929)
“Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence. The most exact calculator has no prescience that somewhat incalculable may not balk the very next moment. I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
