Thousands turned up to parades around the country, including the dawn service at Mt Maunganui and further afield at Gallipoli, Turkey.
In Auckland, thousands marched through the gates of the Domain and to the cenotaph outside the city's museum, which was lit up in the colour of a poppy.
The weather cleared for the dawn service where veterans were applauded and fallen soldiers remembered.
"The cost and horror of those days still haunt us as a nation," Royal New Zealand Navy chaplain Colin Mason told the crowd.
"May the memory of their lives inspire us by the dreams they had for their land."
Mayor Len Brown said Anzac Day was a chance to remember the 18,500 New Zealanders killed in the Great War, including the more than 7200 from the Auckland province.
He told the crowd it was "such a huge sacrifice for such a young country".
"We gather to remember the bravest of the brave. The men and women ... who made the ultimate sacrifice," Mr Brown said.
Yesterday was the first Anzac Day since the final withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.

As time has passed, the esteem for those who fought and died overseas in the New Zealand uniform has increased. As much will be apparent again today in Anzac Day commemorations around the country. Many of those who turn out to honour parents and grandparents or simply to be part of the solemn ritual will have had no experience of warfare or even life in the armed forces. That is irrelevant to an event that now has a special importance. Indeed, a poll released last week found that a clear majority of New Zealanders believe Anzac Day means more to them than Waitangi Day.

http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western ... 6629408962Eighteen-year-old RSLWA Youth Ambassador Angela Gazey urged her generation to study the experiences of their forebears.
"Our freedom came at a cost, and it is important we learn about these events and learn about our past,'' Ms Gazey said.
Wing Commander Dave Turner, of RAAF Pearce, told those gathered at Perth's dawn service it would be a "national disgrace'' if Australians ever became cynical about Anzac Day.
"It is as relevant to Australian society today as ever before,'' Commander Turner said. Todd Gordon brought his family, giving daughters Laura, 4, and Claire, 2, an early lesson in the Anzac spirit - with Laura proud to say she was already learning about Anzac Day in school.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-04-25/l ... ection=actLEIGH SALES, PRESENTER: It seems the more that time passes since the historic battles fought by the original ANZACs, the more the legend of ANZAC Day grows.
It's the day on the Australian calendar where, regardless of religion or political stripe, Australians unite to honour the servicemen and women who've fought for this country.
From the soldiers who went ashore in the futile Gallipoli mission, to the diggers serving right now in Afghanistan, all were remembered today as Australians young and old turned out in their thousands for dawn services across the nation.
The ANZAC legend can make our soldiers seem larger than life. But today, we were reminded of the very ordinary human emotions: grief, sadness, fear and guilt evoked by war.
In one of the day's most moving moments, before the start of the Dawn Service in Canberra, Victoria Cross recipient Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith read aloud from letters written by Australians on the frontlines in Afghanistan along with tributes from their loved ones.

BEN ROBERTS-SMITH, VICTORIA CROSS RECIPIENT: Keegan Locke, son of Sergeant Matthew Locke MG, killed in action, Chora, 2007. "I often dream about him coming back to Mum and I. Whenever something challenges me and I think of giving up, I can feel Dad looking down on me and cheering me on, just like those young years at rugby. His death left a hole in my heart, but his spirit has given me the motivation to push myself further than ever before. I truly believe he has given me the gift of the ANZAC spirit." ...
