Rugby Australia and Castore are thrilled to announce a landmark multi-year partnership with the premium sportswear brand to become the Official Technical Kit Partner for all Teams in Gold and the wider Australian Rugby system until at least the end of 2030.

The new agreement will see the Wallabies, Wallaroos, Australian Men’s and Women’s Sevens teams and Australian Pathways teams proudly wearing Castore-issued sportswear from January 2026.

Significantly, Castore will be the official supplier for the Wallabies and Wallaroos for their respective home Rugby World Cups in 2027 and 2029.

The Australia Sevens teams will be the first national sides to wear the new Castore strip at the HSBC Singapore SVNS tournament from January 31, followed by its home debut at the HSBC Perth SVNS at HBF Park from February 7.

The collaboration brings together Castore’s product innovation and end-to-end retail expertise with Rugby Australia’s high-performance ambitions across the elite game and pathways. Castore will supply match kits, training wear and travel apparel with a fully integrated retail operation serving fans in Australia and around the world.

Rugby Australia joins other leading sports organisations such as Oracle Red Bull Racing, Alpine F1 Team, Everton FC, England Rugby and England and Wales Cricket Board in partnering with the UK-based Castore.

Rugby Australia CEO Phil Waugh said: “Rugby Australia is thrilled to be partnering with Castore for at least the next five years.

“We’re aligning with a brand that shares our high-performance mindset and can deliver genuine innovation for our athletes and supporters.

“From the Wallabies, Wallaroos and Sevens programs to our pathways system and community game, this partnership strengthens every layer of our sport and puts the fan experience at the centre.”

CEO and Founder of Castore Tom Beahon said: “We’re proud to join forces with Rugby Australia and in particular support the next chapter of the Australian national teams.

“Our mission is to make athletes better and give them a competitive edge, and together we will combine advanced engineering, precision manufacturing and a world-class retail programme to serve the team and its fans.

“We can’t wait to unveil the first Castore kits ahead of the 2026 season.”
