Pass It On - World Record-Breaking Attempt!

On Sunday, 9 March 2025, Wingspan is hosting a world record-breaking attempt at North Harbour Stadium. We are looking to break the record for the amount of consecutive rugby passes, and we’re doing it to celebrate International Women’s Day. To break therecord, we need at least 280 wāhine and people who support women to join us on the field.

The current world record was set in Wales at 279 passes. Now, in the international home ofrugby, you can be part of a team that aims to shatter this record. The event will not only celebrate the prowess of New Zealand’s women, but also highlight the importance ofmental health support. By showcasing the strength and resilience of women, Wingspan seeks to inspire hope and solidarity within the community.
