As per the Wellington Lions website:

The capital's top representative team, the Wellington Lions have won four national titles, 1978, 1981, 1986 and 2000. In 1981, Wellington swept all before them, including successfully challenging for the Ranfurly Shield in a famous win at Hamilton against Waikato. 

Since the 2000 season, Sky Stadium (formerly Westpac Stadium), with a capacity of over 34,000, has been the home of Wellington Rugby. In its short history the venue has hosted four NPC finals (2003, 2004, 2008 and 2013), two Super Rugby Finals (2015 & 2016), eight RWC matches (2011) and arguably one of the greatest All Black performances in their 48-18 pummelling of the British & Irish Lions in 2005.
