For 30 years, the Crusaders have set the standard in Super Rugby.
We’re a team built on belief, resilience, and the unwavering support of our community. In 2026, we celebrate that legacy with a season like no other: fierce rivalries, saying goodbye to our home at Apollo Projects Stadium, and the historic opening of One New Zealand Stadium, all while marking three decades of Super Rugby history.
This milestone season is about more than rugby. It’s about connection, pride, and the moments that unite us. From southern derbies to Super Round in Christchurch, every match is a chance to be One of Us. We’ll honour our past while embracing the future, creating memories that will live on for generations.
Our fans are the heartbeat of this club. Together, we’ve created unforgettable moments and memories like no other. Now, we invite you to stand with us as we write the next chapter.
Are you ready to be part of history? Join us, and let’s make 2026 a year to remember.

Great event, the new stadium is spectacular , easy to see the field from every seat. Nice and warm inside. Good food , not crowded.
The stadium is big you can see the playing field from all angles and awesome atmosphere christchurch is very lucky
Loved the magnificent new stadium which was very easy to get in and out of. My seat was great 3 rows from the field. And the rugby was spectacular. What was not great was the public transport. I wont be going to anymore games as waiting for buses was not fun!!!! If you want to encourage people to use public transport a major upgrade is needed on game day.
Great seats in second row, warm, dry, great view of the game. Well done to all involved with the making of our new fortress
Downloaded the app, easy to learn process, I’m 73, followed the prompts, turned up on the day went to the ticket I’d put in my wallet on my iPhone, held it over the scanner and got the ✅ So simple.
Fantastic stadium, appears really well thought out. Will make attending a sporting event or concert so much fun with an amazing atmosphere. Only downfall was electronic ticketing on entry, scan had trouble reading electronic ticket and paper not accepted (will be difficult for elderly)
Going to be a great facility for years to come. Only gripe is lack of toilets on 1st floor
Steep staircase be careful, one hand on the rail. Two screens ,vast view inside, kind staff for directions. Excellent sound system. Arrive early, until you are more familiar with surroundings.
Amazing new facility. Shakedown practise before the first game.Entry to stadium was efficient. Great selection of food outlets and drinks. Would be better with more popular and mainstream alcohol drinks .Great view of the ground from the outlets. Good seats. Players came out to Conquest of Paradise. It felt flat without the horses. There should be a compromise and the horses included in the build up . They are part of Crusaders history and who we are and the match day experience for fans. Stop the excuses and bring them back.
A great experience for anyone who attends any concert or experience. Plenty of food and drink options- all cashless. Also an abundance of ladies toilets-great!! Great views wherever you are seated. A real asset to our city.
