The Auckland Nines will have a single zone this year.

Single and ready to mingle?

The NRL Auckland Nines have turned matchmakers creating a singles zone at the annual rugby league tournament, which will be held at Eden Park on February 4 and 5.

While the New Zealand Warriors have come up short during the event's three year history, fans might prove luckier in the stands.

Organisers of the Nines are encouraging single supporters to grab their best costumes and hang out with like-minded singles, while watching their league heroes.

"Who knows, you might find your soul mate in the stands. If you don't, you'll still have fun watching the biggest stars carve up on the field," an online advertisement for the tournament said.

The Warriors were beaten 22-4 in last year's Nines final by the Parramatta Eels, who were later stripped of their title for salary cap breaches over a four year period.
