Eden Park in Auckland is better known for cricket and rugby, but it is the ground New Zealand turn to for their biggest fixtures, a hosting arrangement running through 2026 that makes use of a 50,000 capacity none of the country's other venues can match. No stadium belongs to the team outright. Smaller nights take the All Whites to Sky Stadium in Wellington, holding around 34,500, or to Go Media Stadium on Auckland's North Shore, seating up to 30,000 — the choice made by opponent and occasion rather than habit.

New Zealand Football goes back to 1891, formed then as the New Zealand Football Association; the current name was adopted in 2007. The team's white kit gave it the nickname All Whites, chosen partly to keep it distinct from the All Blacks on the rugby field.

The record that stands out belongs to the OFC Nations Cup: six titles between 1973 and 2024, a runner-up finish in 2000, and third place three times, in 1996, 2004 and 2012. Chris Wood holds the side's appearance and goalscoring records. Ryan Nelsen captained the team at the 2010 World Cup; Steve Sumner led the 1982 squad and scored the country's first goal at that tournament. Wynton Rufer was later named Oceania's Player of the Century. Australia supplies the fixture that matters most, played for as the Trans-Tasman Cup and known to some as the Soccer Ashes.

A ground the All Whites could call their own is still the one thing missing — home games stay split between Auckland and Wellington, decided afresh each time.
