I would actually be extremely surprised. Getting the funds for ATL is hard enough for Israeli teams (about 1500$ per student). Israel and New Zealand are almost on opposite sides of the planet. The fastest way to get there would be through 3 different flights and a minimum transit time of 24 hours (about 20 hours of flights). I don't think it is going to happen...
