New Zealand has played host to two IFBB pro shows; in 2001 and 2008, and there was a pro contest scheduled for 2009, which was cancelled.

Please click the links below to view separate pages with coverage of each year. Our 2008 coverage is fairly good; with results, photos, video etc. We are constantly hoping to be able to get some retro photos or reports of the 2001 pro show, if you can help please contact us!
