SEVEN New Zealand cities, from north to south, will host the British & Irish Lions when they tour in 2017, and the much-anticipated #rugby action promises to attract more than 20,000 visitors.
Host cities will be Whangarei, Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua and Wellington, in the North Island – and Christchurch and Dunedin, in the South Island. The Lions Tour is the biggest sporting series to be held in #NewZealand since Rugby World Cup 2011.
New Zealand Rugby and the British & Irish Lions have agreed a programme of 10 matches during their 2017 series, kicking off in Whangarei, in the far north, on June 3 and finishing in Auckland on July 8.
Rugby aside June and July are winter months in New Zealand which brings snow, in the North Island are the volcanic peaks of Tongariro National Park with Whakapapa and Turoa Ski Areas. The South Island has great skiing at Queenstown, Wanaka and Mount Huttwhich means if Rugby isn't your thing there is always skiing.
