October 7th, 2025

Raro's biggest rugby weekend is nearly here. The Raro Rugby International 7s Tournament is on from 6 to 8 November 2025 at Tereora National Stadium. Three days of fast, fearless sevens alongside good food, sunshine, music and plenty of local pride.

Whether you’re here for every match or just after the island atmosphere, this is one weekend worth getting to.

Why Having Your Own Vehicle Makes Life Easier

Rarotonga is easy to get around. But during a big weekend, having your own car or scooter means more freedom and fewer hold-ups.

Here’s how it helps:

You can arrive and leave when it suits you

Drive to lunch without relying on venue food or queues

Cruise home for a rest between games

Head to the beach after the last whistle

Skip the wait for taxis or shared rides when it gets busy

The stadium has parking nearby. Roads are calm, and the island loop is simple to follow. A quick spin around the island feels like part of the experience, not a chore.

Book Early Before They’re All Gone

When the 7s weekend rolls around, hire vehicles go fast. If you want your pick of scooters or smaller cars, it pays to book before you get here.

Polynesian Rental & Hire offers airport pickup and easy online booking so you can roll off the plane and start your weekend with no stress.
