The Rise of Cornhole in New Zealand
It started in the US decades ago, but Cornhole has found a special place in Kiwi backyards. Why? Because it’s simple, social, and endlessly fun — the perfect recipe for summer, BBQs, and spontaneous family gatherings.
From driveways to decks, lawns to garages, Cornhole has become a game everyone can play — young, old, competitive, or casual. And that’s exactly why its popularity is growing across New Zealand.
Why Kiwis Can’t Get Enough of Cornhole
1. It’s Easy to Learn and Play
No complicated rules or setup. Toss the bag, hit the board, and cheer — repeat. That simplicity makes Cornhole instantly approachable, perfect for first-timers and seasoned players alike.
2. Social Fun for Any Occasion
