The Wallabies and Land Rover complete new partnership deal

Land Rover Australia has tied up a three-year deal to be Official Vehicle Partner of the Qantas Wallabies rugby union team ahead of the 2018 international season.

It will see Land Rover supply vehicles to support the team. In return every Australian International test match will use a Gilbert ball emblazoned with the brand’s badge, as well on the rear of the Wallabies player’s shorts.

Rugby Australia CEO Raelene Castle says the organisation is thrilled to have extended its partnership with Land Rover, adding:

“We are thrilled that they have extended this association to the Wallabies but also at Shute Shield level through Sydney University. This partnership will be incredibly beneficial for our Wallabies program and the synergies between the two brands run deep.”

Matt Wiesner, Land Rover Australia Managing Director, said this agreement marks a significant development in the partnership between rugby and Land Rover.

“It offers Land Rover a fantastic opportunity to further engage with our customers, and general rugby fans across Australia,” he adds. “We look to being part of the future with the Wallabies and building the game in Australia from grass roots to the top tier.”

Land Rover’s support for rugby extends beyond supporting the Australian game from the grass roots to international level, and includes being an associate sponsor of the South African national team, worldwide partner of the 2019 Rugby World Cup and 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup, and principal partner with the British and Irish Lions, Wasps and Cardiff Blues.
