Two eye-catching One New Zealand Warriors team stores are popping up on both sides of the Tasman this week – one at Auckland International Airport, the other in central Brisbane – ahead of the NRL’s Magic Round kicking off on Friday, May 15.
From today (Monday, May 11), international travellers flying out of Auckland can’t miss the sight of Warriors colours and merchandise – the new store is right in front of them, the first one they see as they come out of security and enter the Auckland Duty Free store space.
And the huge Warriors fan base in Queensland plus the army travelling to Brisbane for the Magic Round will find a dedicated pop-up One New Zealand Warriors Team Store in the heart of the city from Wednesday (May 13) through to Sunday (May 17).
"We’re really excited to bring the One New Zealand Warriors Team Store experience directly to our fans both at Auckland Airport and in the heart of Brisbane for Magic Round,” said One New Zealand Warriors GM merchandise and apparel Kimberley Searle.

“Our fans continue to show incredible passion and loyalty so creating more opportunities for them to access official merchandise is something we’re very proud of. The Brisbane pop-up is especially exciting as it’s the first activation of its kind we’ve done in Australia.”
Opening hours for the Brisbane store at 121 Queen Street Mall are:
- Wednesday, May 13: 10.00am-6.00pm
- Thursday, May 14: 10.00am-8.00pm

The 2026 apparel range will be available to purchase in-store, including headwear and junior sizing, with a special product drop available in-store on Friday.
The opening of stores at Auckland International Airport and in Brisbane follows on from successful forays to Napier and Wellington in February and April.
Warriors took their mobile store to Hawke’s Bay ahead of the club’s Preseaon Challenge against Manly Warringah and then to the Capital for the clash against the Dolphins on Anzac Day.
