We also are adding the scores and recommended listening and viewing.// //Now that the event is over, we'd like to see what lasting legacies have been left behind in New Zealand.//

//We tracked how this sporting event integrated Indigenous Māori culture and highlighted local tourism options. It was awesome to hear stories of manaakitanga in action! We documented the use of the social web and smartphone apps as a means to connect locals and visitors.//

Background
The Rugby World Cup is widely acknowledged as the 3rd largest sporting fixture in the world behind the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup. For New Zealand, the 2011 Rugby World Cup was the single largest event the country has hosted.

Some 48 pool matches were played from September 9 to October 23, 2011. The expected number of visitors for RWC 2011 has grown to 95,000.

Rugby New Zealand 2011 chief executive Martin Snedden said Australia was set to be the largest source of overseas visitors, with 30 000-plus crossing the Tasman Sea for the tournament, followed by Britain and Ireland (25,000), France (10,000) and the Americas (10,000).

Māori Connection
The Rugby World Cup 2011 is an excellent opportunity to use Māori language to host our visitors from cities to rural towns, hotels to homes, all modes of public transport and on our streets. Everyone who has Māori language knowledge, great or small, is encouraged to use it as often as they can during this exciting time as New Zealand showcases itself on the world stage. - Māori Language Commission Chief Executive Glenis Philip-Barbara

Analysis
[|RWC 2011 Analysis: A return to running rugby]

[|Almost all Kiwis caught Rugby World Cup action]

The Fly Buys Colmar Brunton Mood of the New Zealand Traveller survey to be released by the Tourism Industry Association (TIA) next week found 93% of Kiwis aged 18 and over watched at least some of this year’s Rugby World Cup. The excitement of the Cup left Kiwis hungry for more, with 41% of Kiwis watching or attending more games than they originally intended to before the tournament started.

Economic Impact
[|Auckland a stronger major events city following RWC 2011] [|Rugby World Cup Evaluation Report] (PDF): "Interim results show that while //interest// amongst Auckland businesses in RWC 2011 was extremely high at 87.4 per cent, fewer than a quarter of businesses felt a sense of involvement in the events. A survey of 500 businesses in December 2010 found 83 per cent believed RWC 2011 would have a positive impact on their business. Over half of the respondents thought they were well prepared. Yet post-event data shows only a small proportion (8.9%) of Auckland businesses believed RWC 2011 had benefited them."

International audit firm Deloitte prepared the [|RWC Economic Impact Report] which predicted the 2011 Rugby World Cup could give New Zealand a $6 billion boost. Source: [|2011 Rugby World Cup - NZ's Money Maker] (Audio - duration: 4′54″)

Environmental Impact
The government has agreed that for Rugby World Cup 2011 to be successful it must be environmentally sustainable. The Ministry for the Environment is working closely with the Rugby World Cup 2011 Government Coordination Office within the Ministry of Economic Development, and Rugby New Zealand 2011 (the tournament organiser) to develop an environmental sustainability strategy for Rugby World Cup 2011. Work has already been done on developing environmental sustainability criteria for regions wanting to host matches.
