Queenstown Events Centre is a multi-purpose sports stadium located in Queenstown, Otago, South Island, New Zealand.
Opened in 1997, the venue is located on Queenstown Lakes District Council–owned land and is a multi-purpose indoor and outdoor venue. The Stadium has a capacity of 19,000 spectators with 6,000 permanent seating and normally 13,000 temporary called in.
Regarded as one of the most spectacular international cricket venues in the world, the ground is located between the foot of the Remarkables and the shores of Lake Wakatipu. The venue hosts regular international cricket matches, as well as several Highlanders rugby games, trade shows, exhibitions, seminars and concerts. It is also a "home ground" for Otago Cricket.
In September 2004 the Queenstown Events Centre Trust unveiled a plan that could see the complex further expanded to include a greater variety of events at a cost of NZ$4,000,000.
