New Zealand Rugby (NZR) and Gallagher Insurance, a global insurance brokerage, risk management and consulting services company, today announce a landmark partnership at a special launch event held at the All Blacks Experience in Auckland.<\/p>\n The partnership brings together two globally recognised brands united by shared values of integrity, excellence, and community impact.<\/p>\n Gallagher becomes the Official Insurance Broker of NZR, and the brand will appear on both the training and match day shorts of all NZR\u2019s national teams, including the All Blacks, Black Ferns, M\u0101ori All Blacks, and Sevens teams.<\/p>\n The multi-year agreement with New Zealand Rugby strengthens the commitment from Gallagher Insurance to growing rugby\u2019s fan base across the world. The partnership will see Gallagher Insurance branding featured prominently on player shorts across multiple global match days each year and includes a robust schedule of fan activations.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a partnership that reflects the scale, ambition and passion for rugby both our organisations have,\u201d said Mark Robinson, CEO of New Zealand Rugby. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited to align with Gallagher Insurance, who already have deep expertise in elite sport, along with a key business focus in New Zealand and globally. This partnership helps solidify where we\u2019re heading, not just with our teams on field, but as a sporting brand off the field too.\u201d<\/p>\n Gallagher Insurance sees New Zealand Rugby as a natural extension of its global sports strategy, connecting with elite organisations that are shaping the future of high-performance competition.<\/p>\n \u201cAt Gallagher, we believe in the power of sport to build stronger communities and foster leadership on and off the field,\u201d said Christopher Mead, Chief Marketing Officer, Gallagher Insurance. \u201cPartnering with New Zealand Rugby\u2014an institution that stands for integrity, respect, and excellence\u2014aligns perfectly with our values. We are proud to stand with the All Blacks, the Black Ferns, and all NZR teams as they inspire fans and unite communities around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Gallagher has proudly served clients in New Zealand for more than a decade, and this partnership reflects a deepened commitment to the communities and businesses that call Aotearoa home. While Gallagher officially entered the New Zealand market in 2014, its merger partner has roots in New Zealand dating back nearly 50 years\u2014underscoring a long-standing legacy of local trust and service.<\/p>\n Through this new partnership, Gallagher will work alongside NZR to deliver local impact and create unforgettable matchday experiences for clients and fans around the world. Gallagher Insurance becomes a regional partner of multiple All Blacks Clinics a year, and the jersey partner for New Zealand referees across all domestic competitions from 2026 including DHL Super Rugby Pacific, Sky Super Rugby Aupiki, and Bunnings Warehouse Provincial Rugby. This reflects Gallagher Insurance\u2019s commitment to protecting the rules and fairness of the game at all levels in New Zealand. Gallagher is headquartered in Rolling Meadows, USA and with the All Blacks v Ireland test in November the partnership will be showcased to a US audience and to its UK market during the upcoming Northern Tour.
