The New Zealand Press Association, known as NZPA, was a news agency that existed from 1879 to 2011, providing national and international news to the media of New Zealand. The country's largest news agency, it was founded as the United Press Association in 1879 and became the New Zealand Press Association in 1942; following Fairfax New Zealand's withdrawal from NZPA in April 2011, the agency told staff it would be wound up, and it ceased operating on 31 August 2011.
