My Kitchen Rules NZ (series 3) is a reality television cooking programme which aired on TVNZ 2.

It premiered September 25, with new hosts and judges, Pete Evans and Manu Feildel.[1] Unlike previous seasons, and specific only to the NZ edition, only 6 teams went head-to-head in a single round instant restaurants (and no second round of double dish for each course), before competing in a series of elimination challenges, shortening the season by half.[2]

  • Teams – Only 6 teams were involved in the competition. In the past, at least 12 teams have competed in the competition.
  • Special Guest Judges – Special celebrity guest judges have appeared alongside the main judging panel and competing teams for the Sudden Death Cook-offs.
