Addington Raceway

The raceway forms part of a sporting complex that includes Rugby League Park and the Christchurch Arena.

Charles Louisson, a steward of NZMTC and Mayor of Christchurch at the time,[1] helped to secure land in Addington and in 1899, the club moved to the present site.

Between 1914 and 1923, Louisson annually donated the silver trophy for the New Zealand Trotting Cup, which he had manufactured in England.

The 2011 series was planned to be at Addington but due to the 2011 Christchurch Earthquake was moved to Alexandra Park.

Addington Raceway has also hosted the New Zealand Long Track Grand Prix for Motorcycle speedway.
