Adele set the record for the fastest-selling tour in New Zealand, the highest number of tickets sold in a single day and the most shows at Mt Smart for an artist performing on a consecutive tour.
She cried as she bid farewell to her Kiwi fans at the end of her March 26 concert, her last scheduled for the Southern Hemisphere.
"Touring isn't something I'm good at... applause makes me feel a bit vulnerable. I don't know if I will ever tour again - the only reason I've toured is you," Adele told fans.
"[This tour is] my greatest accomplishment in my career... When I think back to when I was 16, playing to nobody, and now - I appreciate this so much."
Adele will conclude her world tour with four sold out shows at London's Wembley Stadium in June and July.
