Celebrating 15 years of Hyundai Country Calendar
This year we're celebrating 15 years of partnership with TVNZ's Hyundai Country Calendar! Since its inception in 1966, the iconic show has become the longest-running programme on New Zealand television and one of the most watched. Tune in every week for stories of heartland New Zealand and great yarns from people working on the land. Join us on Sundays at 7pm on TVNZ 1 and TVNZ+.
Competition update
After many years of offering weekly chances to win amazing New Zealand products and experiences through Hyundai Country Calendar, we are taking a break from the competition this year. Thanks to all who've previously entered to win, and to the great NZ businesses who've come on board to supply wonderful prizes each week.
More about the partnership
We are proud of our long-standing partnership with Hyundai Country Calendar, which started in 2011. With the much-loved series set to return to TVNZ on Sunday 16 February 2025, we are confident that Kiwis will return week after week to engage with tales of real-life people in farming, fishing, and forestry, as well as horticulturalists, conservationists, new generation farmers, beekeepers, foragers, and sustainability and technology innovators.
Since coming onboard as the naming sponsor of the locally funded and award-winning series in 2011, our collaboration with TVNZ remains highly valued and respected by both parties.
As a 100% Kiwi owned business, we reinvest right here in New Zealand. We support local communities and organisations that make New Zealand the place that it is. Hyundai Country Calendar is quintessentially New Zealand and offers great family viewing. We are passionate about supporting locally produced content and rural New Zealand through our partnerships and our vehicles.
Hyundai New Zealand has a long history of championing Kiwis and celebrating local innovation, ambition and hard work. The Hyundai New Zealand Pinnacle Programme, created in 2005, is an example of this. It supports young New Zealanders to develop their skills and prepare them to be this country’s next generation of leaders through a three-stage programme, which includes Spirit of Adventure and Outward Bound. In addition to this, Hyundai is proud to partner with Kiwis like Hayden Paddon, champion NZ rally driver, and Al Brown, iconic chef and restaurateur.
