'''FurcoNZ''' is an annual gathering of the [[Wikipedia:New Zealand|New Zealand]] furry community, with a distinctively [[Wikipedia:Kiwi_(people)|Kiwi]] outdoors theme. Since 2007, it has typically been held at the end of the year, around end of November or 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 in the same intercontinental trip. From 2014 to 2020, FurcoNZ was held over or near [[Wikipedia: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.

FurcoNZ was held in November 2006 in [[Wikipedia:Wairakei|Wairakei]], just north of Taupo. This event has been the second largest, with over thirty people attending. Held in a three-bedroom home, this FurcoNZ was the first to include wireless internet, and have a DVD produced from digital video footage as a memoir of what happened. The 2006 event is what led to the type of location for the 2007 event.
