TET Stadium & Events Centre is a multi-purpose sports facility in Inglewood, New Zealand. It is the home ground of the Taranaki Mitre 10 Cup side Taranaki. The ground also plays host to local side Inglewood United F.C. and to the Inglewood & Taranaki athletics clubs.[1]

The facility has been home to the Taranaki Mitre 10 Cup side since the 2020 season, having moved from Yarrow Stadium in New Plymouth which was closed for renovations to comply with earthquake regulations.[2][3]

The facility was used as a training venue for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, with the local Taranaki side having to move out of the venue for the duration of the tournament.[4]

It features an all weather athletics track around the main field, a 1,000 seat covered grandstand and on the opposite side four large changing rooms, one smaller changing room. Upstairs in the pavilion, a balcony over looks the venue with bar, kitchen and conference facilities available.

Temporary infrastructure was built to be able to host Mitre 10 Cup matches, including a camera tower, commentary and coaches boxes.
