Before you plan

Which holiday calendar does this page cover?

New Zealand nationwide public holidays (actual dates, excluding regional anniversaries). These are the 11 actual nationwide holiday dates. Regional anniversary days are separate and are not included.

Are any dates or entitlements still unconfirmed?

If the weekend date is not an otherwise working day for you, the holiday can transfer: January 2 to January 4; Waitangi Day, February 6 to February 8; ANZAC Day, April 25 to April 26; Christmas Day, December 25 to December 27; and Boxing Day, December 26 to December 28. The actual date and its transferred date are alternatives, not two holiday entitlements. The observed alternatives are explained here rather than added as five extra holidays. Check your work pattern and employer's schedule.

Does this change the current leave planner?

No. This is a separate 2027 reference calendar. The existing holiday guides, countdowns, and leave planners remain on their current-year data. Do not use a 2026 leave plan for a 2027 date.

Only source-verified lists are included. Other country calendars are unchanged; a missing 2027 page does not mean there are no holidays.
