Rugby World Cup 2011 has been a phenomenal event with the final outcome that every Kiwi was hoping for. The Cup is ours again, after 24 long years.
There have been celebrations up and down the country, and there will be more to come over the following months.
The success of our handling of this major tournament has demonstrated that New Zealand is a very capable host for large-scale international events. More than 5,000 volunteers around the country put their hand up to help out.
The tournament has also done wonders for lifting our international profile as a tourism and business destination. To this end the Government was proud to fund the REAL New Zealand Festival, Sector Showcase, and Business Club to support this.
The Reserve Bank has estimated an economic gain to New Zealand of $700 million, so we will continue to see benefits from the tournament.
