The Queensland Rugby Union (QRU) are proud to announce Canterbury of New Zealand as their official apparel partner through 2025.
As the QRU celebrates its 140th anniversary next year, the partnership will see two historic Rugby brands re-connect, with Canterbury and Queensland Rugby sharing a history that spans almost 50-years.
Australia’s premium Rugby apparel provider, Canterbury has been involved in some of the Queensland Reds’ most memorable milestones, including Queensland’s comprehensive 41-7 win over New South Wales in the 1982 Centenary match and the club’s Super 10 Championships in 1994 and 1995.
Queensland Rugby Union CEO David Hanham said: “We’re thrilled to again partner with Canterbury of New Zealand.
“When you think Rugby apparel, you think Canterbury, and many of our most cherished Queensland Rugby memories are intertwined with their iconic logo.
“As a globally respected and recognised brand, their commitment to high-quality apparel will not only benefit our players on the field, but also our fans and members in the stands.”
Canterbury of New Zealand General Manager – ANZ, Luke Doddrell said: “Over our significant history, Canterbury of New Zealand has been privileged to play a part in some incredible Queensland Rugby moments.
“For the 2023 season and beyond, we’re excited to partner with our friends again to recreate and celebrate more of these moments to come.
“We’re proud to be a part of the Queensland Reds quest for success, knowing our hard wearing and high-quality kit will deliver when needed most."
Canterbury of New Zealand is known for its hard working and wearing, versatile activewear.
A benchmark for the sporting landscape for over 118 years, their clothing is seen as a ‘badge of honour’ for anyone who pulls on the iconic CCC logo.
Canterbury is committed to making stylish, crafted products that are built to last, making it the perfect kit solution for both on-and-off the field.
With its long standing, rich heritage of being an official partner to some of the world’s legendary sporting teams – including the All Blacks, the British & Irish Lions, Ireland Rugby and the Blackcaps, New Zealand's national cricket team – the Queensland Reds are once again proud to call Canterbury of New Zealand our official apparel partner.
Details of the Queensland Reds 2023 replica range by Canterbury of New Zealand will be made available in the coming months.
