The Zespri AIMS Games is Australasia’s largest junior sporting event, held annually in Tauranga, New Zealand.
Celebrating diversity, the Games provides an opportunity for adolescents from all demographics and education contexts to compete in sporting competitions, to meet others from outside their normal peer group, and to learn and build on their social interaction skills. The Zespri AIMS Games is highly regarded by national education and sporting organisations and is considered a leader in its area.
Since its inception in 2004, the Zespri AIMS Games have grown from 760 competitors representing 17 schools and four sporting codes, to the 2023 tournament which had 11,733 competitors, representing 373 schools and 25 sporting codes. It is remarkable to see a concept that Tauranga locals had, evolve into an event that in 2023 had 2.7% more athletes than the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Even with this outstanding growth, the Zespri AIMS Games continues to be largely delivered by Tauranga locals and is successfully hosted within the region using existing public sport and recreation facilities. The 2024 Zespri AIMS Games will be held in Tauranga Moana, 7-13 September 2024.
