Safety first before the Women’s Rugby World Cup

New Zealand Police wish the tournament a smooth and successful run as New Zealand prepares to host the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2021.

Tournaments will be held in Auckland and Whangarei, with staff across the district working to ensure all matches are played in a safe and secure environment.

We encourage everyone heading to a match to think about their transportation in advance and consider their actions while there. The organizers put a lot of effort into preparing everyone to have a good time, and they want to see good behavior from the participants.

The game showcases our city, and the police support the organizers to ensure the tournament is a complete success.

Police understand that events like this bring celebration. Therefore, we encourage fans and spectators to behave appropriately and make appropriate choices.

Take care of yourself and your friends, especially when you are out at night.

It’s also important to keep your belongings under control, minimizing the chances of opportunistic thieves and vandalism. Be careful with your bags, store valuables, and if you drive, make sure nothing is left in your car that could be a target for thieves.

Police want the same thing everyone else does at the Women’s Rugby World Cup and that is for everyone to be safe, have a good time and remember this special occasion for all good reasons.

finish.
