 The Sport Excellence Awards consist of three award categories;

• Sport Acknowledgment Awards

The Sport Acknowledgement Awards give each sporting code in the North Harbour region the opportunity to acknowledge an individual who has excelled in their commitment to their sport.

• Sports Excellence Awards

The Sport Excellences Award categories highlight the outstanding performances by individual athletes, teams, coaches, referees/umpires, volunteers and events in the North Harbour region. This category recognises the achievements from one sporting year.

• Legends of Harbour Sports Hall of Fame

The Legends of Harbour honours athletes who have achieved excellence at the highest level and have also given back to sport in the Harbour Region. These nominations were put before an independent judging panel and selected based on a set list of criteria. Two athletes were inducted into the Hall of Fame at this year’s event who truly were, “Legends of Harbour.”

We received over 120 nominations across various sports across the region. The nominations were judged by an independent panel of experts representing sport, media and business, and finalists were chosen in each category.

The category winners were then announced at the Massey University Harbour Sport Excellence Awards. See below for winners.
