Can anyone repeat for me what are the average weekly crowed numbers in the other professional sports in NZ like Cricket, Rugby to put into persective.

This table is fascinating - it lists the worlds' pro sports leagues by average attendances.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_attendance_figures_at_domestic_professional_sports_leagues

                                                                                       Teams Games Total Crowds Average Crowds 

Air New Zealand Cup Rugby union New Zealand 2008 14 77 554,663 7,203
(Now the "ITM Cup" , also known as the "NPC")

Ha!  Way worse than the A-League and less than the Vietnamese Football League, "Rabodirect Pro 12" rugby union league of Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Italy; English League One etc. - or even Polish motorcycle speedway.

A-League isn't doing too bad  - more than Spanish Second Division, French Ligue 1 or the Austrian Bundesliga:

A-League Association football Australia
(1 club in New Zealand)		 2012–13 10 130 1,632,321 12,556

Our domestic cricket competitions have attendance averages too mediocre to register on this table.

Only the Black caps are fully professional - the six regional sides who make up the first class, one day and T20 national cricket competitions are mostly composed of amateur or semi-pro players with a handful of professionals. Attendances at Plunket Shield first class games are often less than one hundred on a day. Domestic one day games ("Ford Trophy"), a few hundred to a few thousand, fluctuating wildly.

In summer 2009-2010 the HRV Cup national T20 comp averaged 2950

6200 – The highest number to turn out for one game, played in Mt Maunganui. 
4500 – The number who turned out for the Central-Auckland HRV Cup final in New Plymouth.

By 2012-2013 Auckland were attracting an average of 6000 to its three T20 home games at Eden Park.

Of course, it's not a domestic competition but if you want to consider the "Super 15" rugby it's also on the table: in 2013 average of 20,284 (similar to Argentinian Primera Division and not far behind Serie A but ahead of the Eredivisie and Ligue 1)
