In the 2007 boundary redistribution, the Tainui electorate was reduced in size by transferring the tribal area of Ngāti Maniapoto to the Te Tai Hauāuru electorate, and in the process, the electorate was renamed as Hauraki-Waikato. The electorate saw no boundary adjustment in the 2013/14 redistribution.

In 2020, following the relatively higher population growth in the Hauraki-Waikato electorate than that of Tāmaki Makaurau, Hauraki-Waikato's northern boundary was contracted to east of Manurewa. Following an objection raised by the Labour Party which emphasised Waiheke Island's ferry connections to Auckland, the island was moved to Tāmaki Makaurau.
