State of Origin · Eden Park · June 2027
origin comes to eden park
Coming over for Game II on Wednesday 16 June 2027? Base your crew in a two-ensuite townhouse in Mount Albert — a short trip from Eden Park, 25 minutes from the airport, and room for four.
For the first time, the Blues and Maroons are taking Origin across the Tasman: Game II of the 2027 series is at Eden Park on Wednesday 16 June 2027. Eden Park is expecting thousands of supporters from Australia, the Pacific and New Zealand — and central Auckland accommodation will go fast once general tickets are released.
Make a week of it: the Warriors also play at Eden Park on Sunday 13 June 2027, so a Sunday-to-Thursday stay covers both games with a few days to see Auckland in between.
| Date | Fixture | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Sun 13 Jun 2027 | Warriors (NRL) | Eden Park |
| Wed 16 Jun 2027 | State of Origin Game II — NSW Blues v QLD Maroons | Eden Park |
General public tickets are released through the NRL from November 2026; official travel packages are sold by NRL Travel. Always confirm dates and kick-off times on edenpark.co.nz.
Two queen bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, plus a third bathroom — no one sleeps on the floor.
Two train stops to Kingsland, right beside Eden Park, or a short Uber. How to get there →
About 25 minutes' drive from Auckland Airport, with self check-in by smart lock so late flights are no problem.
Hiring a car? Leave it in your reserved space — Eden Park has no public parking and the surrounding streets are resident-only on game days.
Full kitchen, laundry and a sunny patio for pre-game catch-ups and the post-mortem the morning after.
Typically around 16% less than the same dates on Airbnb or Booking.com — no platform fees.
Head to Kingsland early — the bars and restaurants on New North Road fill up fast before big games. After the final whistle, the city-bound train platforms are the busiest spot in Auckland; you're heading the other way, back towards Mount Albert, or you can let the crowd clear over a drink in Kingsland first. It's a midweek game in winter, so pack a warm jacket.

Game II of the 2027 State of Origin series is on Wednesday 16 June 2027 at Eden Park — the first Blues v Maroons Origin match ever played in New Zealand. The Warriors also play at Eden Park on Sunday 13 June.
The Fern is in Mount Albert, next door to Kingsland. It's a short Uber or drive, or two stops on the Western Line from Baldwin Ave to Kingsland station, which sits right beside the stadium.
Up to four guests, in two queen bedrooms that each have their own ensuite, plus a third bathroom downstairs. Splitting the house between four mates can work out cheaper per person than hotel rooms.
Yes — families are welcome — we provide a cot and a high chair, and we're happy to help with anything else that makes travelling with little ones easier (we're parents too). Please note the stairs are steep and there's no stair gate, so toddlers will need close supervision.
