Table 1: New Zealand NSO and PSF Relationships Sport NZ NSO NSO elite team Rugby New Zealand Rugby League League (NZRL) Basketball Basketball New Zealand (BBNZ) Football New Zealand Football (NZF) Kiwis New Zealand Tall Blacks New Zealand NZ PSF Inaugural PSF Season 1995 Warriors 2003 Breakers All Whites Wellington Phoenix 2007 It is important to recognise that the Phoenix, Breakers and Warriors are not national teams and do not belong to the respective NSOs. This is despite the ability of a player (e.g. Ruben Wiki) or coach (e.g. Ricki Herbert) to be an employee of both the national team and the PSF. To elaborate, Wiki was contracted full time to the New Zealand Warriors but was also a member, as required, of the New Zealand national rugby league team. Similarly, Ricki Herbert is both Head Coach of the Wellington Phoenix Football Club (FC) and the New Zealand national men’s team. The relationships between NSOs and PSFs are a relatively new one and can be traced back to the expansion of Australian-based PSFs into New Zealand, which began in 1995. 1.2.1 Football The Wellington Phoenix joined the Australian A-League in 2007. The history of the Phoenix can be traced back to the participation of the Auckland-based Football Kingz in the Australian National Soccer League (NSL) between 1999 and 2004. When the NSL evolved into the A-League, the ownership of the Football Kingz was restructured and the team became known as the New Zealand Knights. The Knights participated in the A-League between 2005 and 2007. Plagued by a lack of on-field success, the organisation struggled financially. New Zealand Football (NZF) held a 5% stake in the Knights but were forced to 4
take over management of the Knights for the remainder of 2006 season, until new owners could be found (Maddaford, 2006). The new owners fared little better than their predecessors, and the licence was revoked by the A-League and in effect transferred to new owner Terry Serepisos and his company Century City Football Limited (Century City Developments, 2007). The vision of NZF is to be “the number one participation sport in New Zealand across all age groups, and qualify for and be competitive in all major FIFA tournaments” (New Zealand Soccer, 2005, p. 8). NZF is recognised by both the international governing body Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), and Sport and Recreation New Zealand (SPARC) as the governing body for football in New Zealand. As an organisation, NZF is experiencing difficult times. In 2008, SPARC provided NZF with a $300,000 cash injection as well as an additional $300,000 to assist NZF in meeting the interest costs on its $1.5 million bank loan (Brown, 2008). As part of this rescue package, SPARC also appointed an independent commissioner to the NZF board (Brown, 2008). 1.2.2 Rugby League The Auckland Warriors joined the Australian Rugby League competition in 1995 as one of four expansion teams alongside the North Queensland Cowboys, South Queensland Crushers and the Western Reds (Mirams, 2001). Originally owned by the Auckland Rugby League, a regional organisation, the Warriors have struggled to be financially viable and have undergone a number of ownership changes (Mirams, 2001). At one time, the NZRL owned the licence outright but would later transfer it to the private sector. Usually associated with businessman Eric Watson, the licence to participate in the NRL is owned by Warriors League Limited. There are two shareholders in Warriors League Limited: 5
