Tauranga Domain is a park and sports stadium in Tauranga, New Zealand. The origins of the park go back to 1873, when Tauranga residents applied to the Native Minister for a domain to be set aside. Five years later, the park was extended to the south. In 1881, the northern part was set aside for a secondary school.[1] War memorial gates commemorate local men who died in World War I, and the gates are registered with Heritage New Zealand as a Category II item.[2]
The stadium hosted its first NPC game during the 2015 ITM Cup. Bay of Plenty lost to the visiting Waikato team by 43-10.
It is also set to host two Bay of Plenty games in the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup. One against Taranaki and the other against Otago.
