The Whanganui Sports Hall of Fame is an initiative that recognises the elite athletes, coaches, and administrators who have made a significant impact on our sporting heritage.

Inductees have achieved success at the highest level in their chosen sporting field(s) and brought credit to sport in the Whanganui district.

Thirty-six outstanding Whanganui sportspeople have been inducted into the Hall of Fame since it was launched in 2008.

Nominations are now closed. A judging panel will decide on the winners with two inductees formally recognised in a ceremony in March 2026.

A full list of inductees and their citations are available on the Whanganui District Council website.
