SPARC becomes Sport New Zealand

As of today, Wednesday February 1, SPARC, the government agency responsible for sport and recreation, is changing its name to Sport New Zealand (Sport NZ).

There’s no change to what we do – it’s still our aim to get more Kiwis into sport, more kids into sport and, through High Performance Sport New Zealand, more winners on the world stage.

The new name - Sport NZ - is all encompassing of sport and recreation activities, and recreation remains a key focus for us. 

Two things that have changed are our website address (www.sportnz.org.nz) and our e-mail addresses (firstname.lastname@sportnz.org.nz). All other contact details, including phone numbers, remain the same.
