Auckland Sport Institute, New Zealand

Millennium Institute of Sport and Health Introduction

Our Auckland sport institute, Millennium Institute of Sport and Health, was completed in February 2002.

Our NZ$32 million sport, health and fitness institute is owned by a charitable trust and has been established to help New Zealander's excel in sport and to help New Zealand become a healthier nation.

We have extensive facilities and cater for everyone, of all ages and levels. Athletes also have the support of on site sports medicine and science services to help them achieve international success.

While we focus on helping people reach their sporting and health and fitness goals at our Auckland sport institute, we are passionate about success at all levels for New Zealand. We believe a fitter, healthier nation will also be a more prosperous nation.

For those wishing to stay for longer than one day we offer the Millennium Lodge, our on site accommodation.

Auckland

The Auckland region is located in the far north of the North Island of New Zealand. Auckland City lies between the Hauraki Gulf of the Pacific Ocean to the east, the low Hunua Ranges to the south-east, the Manukau Harbour to the south-west, and the Waitakere Ranges and smaller ranges to the west and north-west.

Auckland has a population of over 1.2 million, which is approaching one third of New Zealand's entire population, and has over 50 islands.

Auckland's amazing geography and warm, humid climate has inspired a lifestyle that's regularly ranked in the world's top ten. In just half an hour you can be almost anywhere: sailing to an island, trekking through the rainforest, picnicking on a volcano, sampling wines at a vineyard or wandering a wild, black sand surf beach. Auckland's layout makes it easy to jump quickly from one theme to another.
