As part of a new partnership with Westpac Stadium, the Warriors will play a home game once a year in Wellington over the next two seasons.

In a media release this morning, Warriors CEO Cameron George said that the news was exciting, with the club eager to play matches in front of Wellington fans once again.

We are thrilled about playing in the Capital for the next two years and promoting the club away from our usual home base at Mount Smart Stadium, and we are really looking forward to engaging with the Wellington community," he said.

"It's great that the Wellington Regional Economic Development Agency, Wellington City Council and Westpac Stadium have come on board to partner with us to deliver what will be a hugely exciting and entertaining event for the Wellington region."

The Warriors have not played in Wellington since 2016, with their opponents for the Wellington game to be made known when the 2019 NRL draw is announced in December.
