In July 2009, Counties Manukau announced that Bayer New Zealand Ltd would be their main sponsor, and that Growers Stadium would be known as Bayer Growers Stadium for sponsorship reasons.[1]

Later the main sponsor of the team and stadium became ECOlight, an energy efficient lighting company based in New Zealand,[2] and the stadium became known as ECOlight Stadium.

In 2018, the stadium sponsor changed to Navigation Homes, and the stadium was renamed Navigation Homes Stadium.[3]
