Details of a parade to welcome home the world champions will be announced today.

Aucklanders get the first chance to welcome home the victorious All Blacks, followed the next day by Christchurch.

The team returns on Wednesday morning at 7am, arriving at Auckland International Airport.

Aucklanders will get a chance to celebrate their World Cup triumph at Victoria Park in central Auckland at noon.



The next day Christchurch will welcome the All Blacks with a street parade and official reception at Hagley Park kicking off at 2.30pm.

On Friday Wellington will celebrate the All Blacks success with details and timing to be confirmed tomorrow.

Fans elsewhere in the country seem unlikely to get an immediate victory parade.

"We know fans will be really keen to see the All Blacks and show their appreciation for this historic back-to-back triumph which has made us all so proud," said Neil Sorensen, General Manager Rugby for New Zealand Rugby.



"The team also wants to show New Zealanders how much their support has meant to them over the past six weeks.



"We would have loved to bring the team to other centres, but the players need to get back home to their families after such a long time away.



"Just as we did after the 2011 victory, we will be looking at ways making sure all New Zealanders can share in this fantastic moment. We don't want the Webb Ellis Cup gathering dust at New Zealand Rugby House."

In Auckland the All Blacks will not be parading - instead they will be positioned at Victoria Park for two hours.

Earlier, before the details were announced, Auckland mayor Len Brown had said: "There will be a public celebration, it'll be outstanding."

Four years ago, thousands turned out to a victory parade held on Auckland's Queen St following the All Blacks' 2011 World Cup win.

The team rolled down Auckland's Queen St on the backs of utes while cheering fans swarmed to catch a glimpse of their heroes.

But in Christchurch it is a full blown parade with all the trimmings. The Christchurch parade will kick off at 2.30pm and take the Men in Black on the back of utes from the corner of Rolleston Ave and Hereford St to the corner of Park Tce and Harper Ave, and then into North Hagley Park where a special fan zone is being set up and a mayoral welcome is planned.

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said Christchurch would turn on a heroes' welcome.

"We're absolutely delighted to be able to host the All Blacks in our city as they bring the Webb Ellis Cup home again. The whole country has been behind them throughout the tournament, so it's exciting to be able to celebrate with them in Christchurch.

"I was inundated with requests for a homecoming parade from the moment the final whistle blew. I know there will be a big turnout for captain Richie McCaw and Man of the Match Dan Carter along with the other Canterbury players, and the team. I remember an All Blacks coach saying that the All Blacks wasn't a team of champions, it was a champion team and we will welcome them as a team who have done us proud," Dalziel said.

Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull said he had been advised by the NZ Rugby Union that the boys in black would not be visiting the city this week.

Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown confirmed that the capital would welcome the All Blacks home, but final plans needed to be sorted out with New Zealand Rugby on Monday.
