.kiwi

.kiwi is a generic top-level domain built around a word strongly associated with New Zealand. “Kiwi” can refer to the country's native bird, the fruit and, informally, New Zealand people and identity.

The extension can suit New Zealand-focused businesses, tourism, culture, food, communities and brands that want a clear Kiwi identity without using the .nz country-code domain. It can also create a more informal or personality-driven national signal.

Technically, .kiwi is a generic TLD rather than New Zealand's country-code domain. Registration is not the same as establishing a legal or official connection to New Zealand.

The meaning is strong enough that a brand with no New Zealand association may create confusion if it uses the extension only for its letters.

VYR classifies .kiwi as open. Standard registrations are generally available through participating registrars, subject to registry and ICANN policies, reserved names and third-party rights.
