Community Activations

Nelson will play host to a massive summer of cricket. With 3 days of international cricket, and 2 days (4 matches) of Super Smash from 1 January 2025 to 10 March 2025, there will be something for everyone.
There will be a number of opportunities around these matches for the community to meet the players and get amongst some fun. This page provides a one stop shop for everything that will be happening around the international and domestic games.
