One NZ Warriors, also known as Vodafone Warriors, is a privately owned company headquartered in New Zealand, founded in 1995 and employing approximately 90 individuals. The company specializes in spectator sports, operating as a professional rugby league football club based in Auckland, New Zealand. It competes in the National Rugby League premiership, holding the distinction of being the League's only team from outside Australia. The club is based at Mt Smart Stadium, Penrose. Established in 1995 as the Auckland Warriors, the club became the first off-shore club to be admitted to the Australian Rugby League's premiership when it expanded from 16 to 20 teams. The club was re-branded as the New Zealand Warriors in 2001.
The One New Zealand Warriors recently indicated resistance to playing NRL finals at Auckland’s Eden Park rather than their home ground, Go Media Stadium, a stance that could cost the NRL up to $3 million in gate takings. On August 13, the club stated it would likely resist calls to make its new haka, spearheaded by co-captain James Fisher-Harris and unveiled before a recent win over the Penrith Panthers in "Indigenous Round," a regular part of their NRL game preparation. Previously, on July 8, the Warriors announced a three-year partnership with Dreamworld, which will see Australia’s largest theme park temporarily rebrand as “Wahsworld” during the club’s annual away fixtures against the Gold Coast Titans. Earlier, on June 23, the GWM "Wahs Selling Cars" campaign brought its partnership with the Warriors to life at Fieldays, transforming the event into a working dealership stadium and live entertainment venue. This follows news from June 20 that two Australian NRL greats, Gorden Tallis and Kevin Walters, backed a push for a second NRL team in New Zealand, suggesting Christchurch’s One NZ Stadium as an ideal home ground, where the Warriors had just played their first-ever game against the North Queensland Cowboys.
