NZCIS Performance Institute: A World-Class Facility Elevating Wellington Rugby and Community Partnerships

NZCIS was created out of a passion for the Wellington community, a unique facility designed to put the region and its people on the world-stage. The one-of-a-kind facility provides a range of offerings including accommodation, commercial office space, and the first-class Performance Institute. The NZCIS Performance Institute serves as the training base for the Mills Albert Wellington Lions and Wellington Pride.

NZCIS Performance Institute GM Jamie Tout said, “We love having the teams onsite. The energy they bring is immense and testament to the old adage that ‘iron sharpens iron’. The interactions we see between WRFU, and the Phoenix are a real super power of the facility and we are grateful for WRFU being on the waka. We are only at the start of this journey – there is more to come!”

"We are excited to continue our partnership with NZCIS," said WRFU CEO Tony Giles. "Their fantastic world-class facility has already added real value to Wellington Rugby and our athletes. We look forward to our continued work with NZCIS to support the next generation of rugby talent."
