The North Island is a New Zealand men's domestic rugby union team selected from the North Island's players, based on where they first played senior representative rugby. They played against the South Island in the North vs South match between 1897 and 2012.[1]
A match was to be played on 29 August 2020 at Eden Park, but was delayed until a week later on 5 September and played at Sky Stadium, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] [3]
