Welcome to the 2025 Rankin Cup and India Shield Tournament at Auckland Hockey Stadium, Lloyd Elsmore Park, Pakuranga. Games will also be played at Kolmar Park, Papatoetoe.
We are thrilled to be hosting 32 teams and their supporters from across the country, including defending Rankin Cup champions Tauranga Boys College and defending India Shield champions Whangarei Boys High School, as well as our very own local Auckland Schools Saint Kentigern College, Kings College, Auckland Grammar School and Pakuranga College.
We look forward to welcoming you into our stadium and are particularly excited to be hosting tournament games on our world leading Paris 2024 Carbon Neutral Olympic Turfs from Polytan! Turf One was upgraded in 2023 with Turf Two replaced in May this year thanks to the generous funding support of Auckland Council and Four Winds Foundation. We also have brand new state of the art LED floodlights on both turfs. 
A big thank you to Auckland Secondary School tournament sponsors Tataki Auckland Unlimited. Follow the link below for special offers and information available during Tournament Week!
