Our Partners

Hagley Oval’s success is built on the strength of the relationships we’ve formed across the community. Our partners play a vital role in supporting our mission – whether through funding, collaboration, or shared purpose.
 
We are proud to be backed by a number of funding partners, whose contributions help us maintain and grow Hagley Oval as a world-class venue. We also work alongside a range of corporate partners – businesses who share our values and support our broader initiatives beyond traditional sponsorship models.
 
Our partnerships also extend into the community, where we are privileged to collaborate with a number of charitable organisations that use the Oval as a platform for connection, awareness, and fundraising.
 
As part of this commitment, our Play it Forward – Giving Programme invites individuals, organisations, and charities to apply for support through in-kind contributions. Each year, we donate a range of items and experiences – such as memorabilia, event tickets, and hospitality packages – to help raise funds through raffles, auctions, and prize draws.
 
Together with our partners, we’re proud to use cricket as a force for good – connecting people, supporting causes, and strengthening community.

Who We Work With

At the heart of our operations is the Hagley Oval Stakeholders (HOS) Group – a collaborative network made up of Canterbury Cricket Trust, Canterbury Cricket Association, Christchurch City Council, ChristchurchNZ, and Venues Ōtautahi. Each organisation has its own role and responsibility for Hagley Oval from owning and maintaining the facilities, managing the Hagley Oval brand, delivering the actual cricket played on the Oval, guardians of the actual land and maintaining the grounds, promoting the city for International fixtures and finally being the Venue operators and running the Venue for events.
 
Together, we work to ensure Hagley Oval is competitive and successful in competing against other NZ venues for top tier content each season and work to deliver outstanding experiences for players, fans, and the wider community.
 
We’re also proud to work alongside cricketing bodies such as the Christchurch Metropolitan Cricket Association (CMCA), Canterbury Junior Cricket Association (CJCA), and New Zealand Cricket (NZC) – supporting the game at every level from grassroots to the international stage. Through these partnerships, we help provide meaningful opportunities for grassroots cricket – including club, junior, and school teams – to experience playing on one of New Zealand’s premier cricket grounds. Our collaboration with CMCA and CJCA helps nurture the next generation of players and ensure Hagley Oval is a venue that belongs to the wider cricketing community.
 
Our continued progress is made possible through the support of our valued sponsors and partners, who are integral to the success and future of cricket at Hagley Oval.
