New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame in Dunedin, Dunedin, New Zealand | Sports Services

Welcome to the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame in Dunedin, New Zealand.   Here you will find a full listing of all sports people inducted into the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame.
We also sell a large range of sporting merchandise through our online shop. There is rugby memorabilia, cricket apparel, items from the Bruce McLaren Trust, along with a wide range of other sporting items.
The New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1990 as part of the celebrations to mark New Zealand's 150 years of organised settlement. In the first year, 75 of New Zealand's greatest sports achievers were inducted,  one for every two years of nationhood.
Inductions now take place at least every two years.
Generally, sports people need to have been retired for five years from active international competition to be eligible for induction.   Inductions are decided by a panel of nine comprising three inductees, three representatives of sports and three members of the news media.   Nominations for induction can be made by anyone, using the appropriate form that is available at the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame.
Until 1998, the Hall was just an office and a dream in Wellington but after canvassing local body interest throughout New Zealand, the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame accepted the offer by the Dunedin City Council to house itself in the railway station.
