Community Rugby Legacy Equipment Program
Rugby Australia will provide new equipment to every community club across Australia in partnership with the Australian Government and Jaguar Land Rover Defender as part of a landmark grassroots investment!
The Community Rugby Legacy Equipment Program is part of Rugby Australia's broader investment in the community game as the nation prepares for the Men’s and Women’s Rugby World Cups in 2027 and 2029 respectively and commitment to strengthening clubs by ensuring they are equipped to support new and existing players and grow participation. The program will be delivered through the Australian Government's community legacy investment from hosting the Rugby World Cups, and supported by Defender, in an extension of the brand's valued partnership with Rugby Australia.
"This is a significant investment in community rugby and every club in the country will feel the benefit. From metro clubs to rural, the equipment provided under this program will help them welcome new players, train safely and grow the game at the grassroots level right across the country.
With the once-in-a-generation men’s and women’s Rugby World Cups in 2027 and 2029 fast approaching, Rugby Australia is committed to leveraging major events to connect with and expand our great community game. This program will ensure the legacy of the Golden Decade reaches every level of rugby in Australia and I would like to thank the Australian Government and Defender for their valued support of community rugby."
