New Zealand Rugby has posted an $8.9 million dollar net loss for 2023 - the second deficit in a row.

Although spending was reduced from the year prior, a drop in broadcast and match day revenue in a World Cup year saw income fall by $3 million to $268 million dollars.

NZ Rugby CEO Mark Robinson says there's work to be done for the future.

"What we're spending more time on is looking at our strategy - and the role that each of our different stakeholder groups has to play in the game and trying to build more alignment on that."
