Jerry Collins Stadium
Multi-purpose sport complex
Jerry Collins Stadium is a multi-purpose sporting complex in Porirua, New Zealand. It currently serves as the home ground of rugby union club Northern United RFC and the Wellington Rugby League representative team, as well as the home for Wellington Phoenix Women of the A-League Women. Porirua Park also has a softball field located at the western end of the park.
Porirua Park Stadium was officially renamed Jerry Collins Stadium on 25 March 2016, in memory of the late All Black.
Football
Jerry Collins Park served as the secondary home for Team Wellington in the New Zealand Football Championship (NZFC). As the primary home stadium Newtown Park also serves as the primary track and field complex in Wellington, clashes with athletics events often resulted in at least one match having been played in Porirua every season until the dissolution of the NZFC in 2021.
With expansion expected to occur for the 2010–11 season, a Porirua-based franchise had bid for inclusion, which would likely be based full-time at Porirua Park.
In recent years, Jerry Collins Stadium has become the home venue for the Wellington Phoenix Women's team, hosting several A-League Women's competition matches during the 2023/24 season. The stadium has also been used as a training ground for teams participating in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, further elevating its profile as a football venue.
JC Park continues to serve as the home for midweek preseason friendlies between professional club Wellington Phoenix FC and local amateur clubs.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Jerry Collins Stadium” as multi-purpose sport complex. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as multi-purpose sport complex. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7230108. Authority coordinates are -41.145, 174.857. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2016, 2021, 2010 and 2023.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
