Englishman Ted Bowley became the first man to score a Test century at Eden Park when he made 109 against New Zealand in 1930. Barry Sinclair's innings of 138 against South Africa in 1964 was the first time a New Zealand player made a century at the ground. Wally Hammond's score of 336 not out, made against New Zealand in 1933, remains the highest score seen at the ground. At the time Hammond's score was also a world record, surpassing Donald Bradman's record of 334.[4] 4 players have made a double century at the ground, however, the highest score by a New Zealander, 173 from 136 deliveries, was made by Ian Smith against India in 1990. John Wright is the only man to have scored three Test centuries at the ground.[5] In a match against England in 1978 Geoff Howarth scored centuries in both innings. This feat was repeated by Peter Fulton in 2013.[6]

Twenty five ODI centuries have been scored at Eden Park, the first by Australian Greg Chappell who scored 108 from 92 deliveries against New Zealand in 1982. The highest score achieved at the ground is unbeaten 146 made by Marcus Stoinis against New Zealand in 2017. Martin Crowe and Nathan Astle are the only players to record two ODI centuries at the ground.[7]
