Spain may have won the FIFA Women's World Cup, but it looks like New Zealand has also done well out of it.
The Spanish have had a fast rise to the top of women's football, beating England 1-nil in last night's final in Sydney.
The tournament was shared by Australia and New Zealand.
More than 340,000 fans packed through the gates of Eden Park to catch the Auckland games, and more than 85,000 went to the city's fan festival.
Auckland Unlimited Arts, Entertainment, and Events Director, Richard Clarke, told Mike Hosking that all the fans have boosted the local economy.
He says hotel occupancy was up 50% on last year, and more people equals more spending.
Games were also played in Hamilton, Wellington, and Dunedin.
