Who we are
The recognised voice of esports in New Zealand.
NZ Esports provides national direction, advocates for the sport and creates pathways from community and school participation through to representing Aotearoa as part of the E Blacks.
Our role is bigger than competition. We help schools and families understand gaming, promote balanced participation, support safe and fair environments, and show young people where the skills they build through play can lead.

Why we partnered with Berocca
A natural fit for healthier conversations about gaming.
Berocca's support helps make this school presentation programme possible. It enables NZ Esports to take engaging, school-ready sessions to students and offer them free of charge, removing cost as a barrier for schools that want to start these important conversations.
The partnership feels natural because our presentations take the same positive, everyday approach to wellbeing. We meet students through something they already care about—gaming—and connect it with practical ideas around balance, movement, sleep, hydration, nutrition and sustained focus.
We love having Berocca's support in this space. Together, we can give young people useful information without turning the conversation into an anti-gaming lecture.
