Abstract

The Cricket World Cup (CWC) is one of the biggest international sporting events in one day test cricket. Held every four years, the CWC attracts teams and audiences from 14 cricketing nations for 49 matches over 11 weeks.

Australia and New Zealand are co-hosting the CWC in 2015. The locations of the matches are yet to be decided and will be split evenly between Australia and New Zealand.

The Nelson Regional Economic Development Agency (EDA) is exploring the value of bidding to host games (two pool matches and two warm up games) as well as hosting a team for each game.

This report identifies the economic impact of hosting the four CWC games on the Nelson-Tasman economy as well as the additional impact of hosting a team.
