New Zealand is a country of extremes, with great variations of geography, climate, and culture. The country consists of two main islands - the North Island, with the far north sunshine and sandy white beaches, to the South Island with its rugged mountains and spectacular scenery. If you are visiting New Zealand, enjoy your visit!

The Provincial Grand Lodge of New Zealand, Grand Lodge of Ireland, is one of the smallest Provinces in the Irish Constitution, having only four Lodges under its guidance. However, it is the oldest Province outside of Ireland having been established in 1859, and one of our Lodges, Ara Lodge No. 348, is the oldest Masonic Lodge in New Zealand of any Constitution and continues to thrive and prosper to this very day. We have three Lodges in the North Island, located in Auckland, Thames, and New Plymouth, and one Lodge the South Island located in Dunedin.

​

You will find information about our Lodges and the other orders of Irish Freemasonry within this site.

​

In New Zealand, Masonic Lodges and other Masonic orders operate under the Grand Lodges of England, Ireland, Scotland, and New Zealand in friendly co-existence.
