Fans at the Rugby World Cup will need either cash or a special new Mastercard 'tap and go' cards to buy food and drinks at the tournament, organisers have revealed.

And while ATMs will be available at all venues, Eftpos facilities will only be available at Eden Park in Auckland and Westpac Stadium in Wellington, but only for the Mastercard "PayPass" cards.

The new Mastercard cards include a micro chip and for purchases under $80 users simply have to hold the card over a terminal rather than swipe it. Cards will cost $5 and $10.
