The world's top darts players will return this year after the Professional Darts Corporation locked in Auckland for a round of the World Series, and talks are underway about a multi-year deal.
Last year's inaugural event was a success, with large and vocal crowds flocking to Henderson's Trusts Arena, and a repeat is expected this time around when it's staged here on June 17-19.
PDC boss Matt Porter said the bulk of top names synonymous with the sport will be brought to New Zealand.
"You'll see all the top names," he told Radio Sport. "We'll be bringing over eight of the top PDC players, including Gary Anderson the world champion, Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen, Adrian Lewis - all the guys that people know so well now."
There will also be a chance for eight local qualifiers, so New Zealand's top players such as Rob Szabo and Koha Kokiri will get a chance to again test themselves at the highest level.
