Queens Wharf, Auckland
Coordinates: 36°50′28″S 174°46′06″E / 36.8412°S 174.7682°E
Queens Wharf is a concrete wharf in Auckland, New Zealand, that continues off Queen Street (the main street in central Auckland). It was previously owned and used by Ports of Auckland. In 2010 it was sold to the Auckland Regional Council and the New Zealand Government, and it was transformed to act as "Party Central" for the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
The wharf is located at the intersection of Quay Street and Queen Street on Auckland's waterfront, and it runs north-northeast into Waitemata Harbour. It is located near Auckland's historic Ferry Building, and lies parallel to the nearby Princes Wharf (to the west) and Captain Cook Wharf (east).
The wharf is constructed of concrete, and covers an area of 2.9 hectares. It is 350 metres long by 85 metres wide, and is 3 metres above sea level. Up until 2010, two sheds (built in 1911 and 1914) stood on the wharf. Shed 11 at the far end of the wharf was dismantled in late 2010. This shed was replaced by The Cloud which was used as a place of congregation for the Rugby World Cup 2011. Shed 10 remains but was heavily refurbished for the World Cup.
