America's Cup
The America's Cup is the oldest trophy in international sport, dating back to 1851, when the yacht America, after which the trophy is named, beat the best of the British fleet in a race around the Isle of Wight, U.K. The trophy won on that day was donated in trust through a Deed of Gift and has since become a symbol of immense achievement. In its 174 year history, only four countries have managed to win the America’s Cup making it perhaps the hardest title to capture in sport. The America's Cup is currently held by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, based in Auckland after another successful defence by Emirates Team New Zealand in Barcelona in 2024.

Bnz Breakers
The NZ Breakers roared into life on 1 October 2003, defeating the Adelaide 36ers by a single point in front of a sold out North Shore Events Centre. Professional basketball hit New Zealand, with entertainment, action and the excitement of the ANBL becoming a weekly experience over the summer months in Auckland. Fast forward 15 years and that excitement and entertainment is still being delivered, now on a larger scale at Auckland’s Spark Arena, as well as regionally around the country. Over the club's short history the Breakers have established themselves as a club who do things differently. In recent years the Club has not only grown awareness here in New Zealand, but on the global stage with NBA pre-season games now a regular feature of the season calendar. Top level talent is coming to New Zealand to play, and our own players are being seen by global basketball scouts. Whilst the success of four Championships has been a standout achievement, it is also the off-court success and work in the community that shapes the club. It is through the financial commitment and support of our sponsors and partners that the club can stay active in this space, and this will continue to be a focus moving forward. We look forward to welcoming you into the BNZ Breakers family, if there is anything you need, please feel free to chat with our team today - 09 970 5260 or gobreakers@nzbreakers.co.nz.

He Toa Taua - Harbour Sport
OUR VISION - A community physically active for life Harbour Sport was established by sports organisations in the region to foster the North Harbour identity, provide co-ordination across the sports codes, increase participation, improve the quality of sports administration and promote the North Harbour region as a sports destination. To this end, although our work encompasses the entire spectrum of sport and physical activity, our clear intention is to move people from an interest in wellness to engaging in regular sport and physical activity. Partnerships are central to our way of working. With the development of Auckland Regional Physical Activity & Sport Strategy (ARPASS) and North Harbour Physical Activity Strategy (NHPAS) collaboration is the only way we will be able to deliver on the agreements we have made. We are focused on strengthening our relationships with our existing stakeholders and developing new ones. This requires action at all levels; the board, management and staff. Feedback across the board from coaches, volunteers and schools students is that engaging in sport and physical activity needs to be enjoyable if people are to continue to participate regularly. Participation in sport and physical activity has the potential to deliver huge personal and social benefits. In our work with our stakeholders we are being more selective and focusing our resources where we believe they will be most cost effective and have the greatest opportunity to effect sustainable change. This means working in more depth over longer period times to ensure our work sticks. We have moved away from hands-on delivery to a facilitating role in order to seed and build initiatives that are sustainable. In line with this and in response to the needs of our increasingly diverse communities we are adopting a community needs approach in line with the work of the health sector to identify and respond to inequalities.
