Host cities

Matches were played in four New Zealand cities:

• The Auckland conurbation, New Zealand's largest metropolitan area, hosted the final and 3rd place playoff. The designated host stadium is located in North Shore City.
• Hamilton hosted two of the quarter-finals.
• Wellington, New Zealand's capital city, hosted two of the quarter-finals.
• Christchurch, the only host city in the South Island, hosted the semi-finals.

Pool matches were spread evenly among these cities. The host nation, New Zealand, was based mostly in Auckland but played one pool match in Wellington.
