"It's more than just numbers; it's about honoring our cultural legacy on a global stage," Nick Sautner, CEO of Eden Park, said.
"Seeing thousands of passionate New Zealanders, from young children to elders, performing the haka in the stadium was a truly memorable moment," Sautner commented.
The 'Ka Mate' haka, created in 1820 by Te Rauparaha, became globally famous thanks to its performance by New Zealand's rugby team, the All Blacks.
The previous record was set in France, when 4,028 people performed a haka in 2014, and organizers aimed to surpass this number.
