Caroline Harvie-Teare: Venues Ōtautahi chief executive on the new Te Kaha stadium hosting Super Rugby's 'Super Round' next year - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Christchurch is set to host one of Super Rugby's biggest events, locking in the first big sporting match for the city's new stadium.

The new Te Kaha stadium will host Super Rugby's 'Super Round' across Anzac weekend next season - one week after the venue has its grand opening.

Venues Ōtautahi chief executive Caroline Harvie-Teare says they've been waiting 15 years for this stadium and they're excited to crack on.

"We're confident, we're going to have plenty of time to have a really good hand-over to test the venue."
