The first race meeting at Addington was held on Monday 6 November 1899. The racecourse was then approximately 36 acres and was leased from the Charitable Aid Board. It wasn’t until 1980 that the lease was purchased by the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club Inc. (NZMTC) and since then land area has grown to what is now 65 acres (26.44 hectares) owned by the Club.
The NZMTC is a membership based organisation which operates the premier venue for Harness Racing in New Zealand. It is governed by a member elected board consisting of a Chair, Deputy Chair and six other directors. The CEO reports to the board.
