World Bowls CEO Neil Dalrymple was excited that this event was returning to New Zealand in 2024.

“Bowls New Zealand are always great hosts and supporters of World Bowls events and successfully staged the 2022 Champion of Champions event very well. I am very confident that many of the world's best bowlers will enjoy competing in Auckland as there are many excellent Clubs with beautiful greens and facilities and they will make great hosts of this event.

I wish to express my thanks to the CEO Mark Cameron and the Board of Bowls New Zealand for agreeing to host this event.”

Bowls New Zealand CEO Mark Cameron welcomed this announcement and was looking forward to adding this World event to what is already going to be a busy 2024 for Bowls in New Zealand.

“Bowls New Zealand prides ourselves on staging professional and well-presented events and our staff, volunteers and clubs are looking forward to once again hosting and providing great coverage of this World event.

I encourage all World Bowls nations to enter and play in the great bowling conditions we will offer together with wonderful scenic and tourism experiences that can be enjoyed by all visitors to New Zealand.”
