The WHITE FERNS are embarking on a nationwide Trophy Tour from this Saturday to show New Zealand the first T20 World Cup won by a Kiwi team - with stops including Hawke's Bay, Nelson and Palmerston North!
Our World Champions are set to touch down in Christchurch on Friday afternoon when they will receive a special welcome home from fans and major sponsor ANZ at an event at the Novotel airport hotel in Christchurch.
The T20 World Cup trophy tour will then begin from south to north, with members of the team and support staff appearing at public events in their regions.
The free entry events will be mixed with special visits to cricket clubs and schools as the WHITE FERNS look to share the World Cup joy with as many New Zealanders as possible.
NZC GM Marketing Communications Stacey Geraghty said the Trophy Tour was a great opportunity for the team and the public to connect and celebrate their inaugural ICC T20 World Cup triumph.
“The World Cup win is without a doubt a watershed moment for women’s cricket in this country and we’re determined to make the most of it,”
“The public events will allow fans to get up close and personal with their heroes, get photos and signatures, and of course get a snap with the trophy!"
The ICC T20 World Cup trophy will be on display at all WHITE FERNS matches throughout the summer as well, so Nelson supporters will get another close-up when they play at Saxton Oval later this season.
