'''FurcoNZ''' is an annual gathering of the [[Wikipedia:New Zealand|New Zealand]] furry community, with a distinctively [[Wikipedia:Kiwi_(people)|Kiwi]] outdoors theme.

== Overview ==

From 2014 to 2020, FurcoNZ was held over or near [[W:Waitangi Day|Waitangi Weekend]]. Beginning as a small indoor [[furmeet]] often hosted at a private residence until 2007, it has grown into a weekend [[furry camping]] event at a camp or lodge site with scheduled activities and official programming.

In 2007 and 2008, FurcoNZ was typically been held at the end of the year, around the end of November or the start of December. From 2009 to 2012, the event organizers scheduled FurcoNZ on "back-to-back" weekends with [[MiDFur]] (in Melbourne, Australia) to entice overseas attendees to make both events on the same intercontinental trip.

In February 2026, [https://files.catbox.moe/ifboi2.pdf AxylGate] occured. There were previous allegations circulating from November 2025 of the previous FurcoNZ chair (MJ Drgn) having sexual relations with a controversial 15 year old furry by the name of 'Axyl' sometime around early 2022. MJ Drgn later [https://t.me/+5-bb6q6bfoBjYWJj admitted to these claims publicly] and stepped down from the FurcoNZ board, and was subsequently banned from further engaging in the NZ furry fandom.

== History ==

* 2002-2006 - From 2002-2006, FurcoNZ was hosted in a private residence.
* 2007-2018 - Starting in 2007, FurcoNZ was no longer hosted in private residence areas, but was rather relocated to a camp/lodge site in New Zealand, creating a change in event programming tailored to outdoor activities.
* 2018-Present - Beginning in 2018, FurcoNZ began operating on a semi-annual rotation along with a new convention [[Southern Paws]] located in the South Island.
*2024 - "FurcoNZ Hotel" had its first event, renaming the existing event to "FurcoNZ Camp". The new event is a larger hotel-based convention, similar to most large conventions.
