Counted with the weekend in New Zealand (Saturday and Sunday) and the holidays that apply everywhere: a long weekend is three or more days off in a row, and a bridge day is a single working day between a holiday and a weekend or another holiday.

• Dates worked out from the date-holidays rules, version 3.37.0, and checked day by day against Nager.Date’s for 2026 to 2028.
• 2018 wasn’t among the years checked; its dates follow the same rules.
• Holidays kept only in some regions of New Zealand aren’t listed here: date-holidays and Nager.Date disagree on where they apply.
• A holiday declared at short notice, for an event or an election, may be missing.
