About

Promoting the Sport of Powerlifting in Aotearoa

We are the official Aotearoa (New Zealand) affiliate of the Global Powerlifting Committee. We provide a wide range of events around Aotearoa including both Raw and Equipped powerlifting in the 3 lift, push/pull and single lift competitions.

Our meets cater to all levels, from novice to world champions. In recent years our lifters have had some great international success at the GPC World Championships, as well as invitational meets such as Pro Raw , NZ Open.

This website is your single source for everything GPCNZ, including all competition calendars, GPC Rules, Records and Members Registry.

We look forward to seeing many new lifters joining and enjoying lifting with GPCNZ alongside our current members. Feel free to have a look around the site, and if you have any questions, feel free to message any of our GPCNZ officials a message through our Contact page.
