Buildcorp are laying the foundation for Australia’s next generation of Wallabies, Wallaroos and Sevens stars following a major sponsorship announcement.

Continuing their 34-year history of supporting Australian rugby union, Buildcorp have this week been unveiled as Rugby Australia’s Major Partner and Naming Rights Sponsor of the Buildcorp Australian Schools and Junior Rugby Union Championships.

This follows Buildcorp’s previous Rugby Australia partnerships, including the National Rugby Championship (NRC), Super W and Wallaroos, and comes ahead of next week’s Buildcorp Australian Schools and Junior Rugby Union Championships on the Sunshine Coast, in which 49 teams will compete for national XVs and 7s glory.

Rugby Australia CEO Phil Waugh welcomed the unveiling of Buildcorp as the inaugural Major Partner and Naming Rights Sponsor for the Australian Schools and Junior Rugby Union Championships.

"We are delighted to be partnering with Buildcorp to deliver another high-quality grassroots rugby event,” Waugh said. 

“The Sukkar family and the entire Buildcorp team have been great supporters of Australian Rugby at all levels for many years and we are grateful for their steadfast and ongoing support.

"The 2025 Buildcorp Australian Schools and Junior Rugby Union Championships is testament to the collaborative effort between Australian Schools Rugby Union, Rugby Australia, Buildcorp, and Sunshine Coast Council on an aligned pathway for both boys and girls development and selection to senior national teams.”

“We are excited to embark on the next step in our rugby journey,” Buildcorp Managing Director Tony Sukkar AM, said.

“The Buildcorp Australian Schools and Junior Rugby Union Championships is a key step in the pathway system and is a natural extension of our rugby partnerships.

“Over the years, it has been wonderful to see so many of the NRC alumni and Wallaroos continue their rugby journey in the professional environment, and we look forward to seeing many graduates of the Buildcorp Australian Schools and Junior Rugby Union Championships representing Teams in Gold for many years to come.”
