Gallagher's support for rugby

We’re dedicated to helping develop the game of rugby in New Zealand, particularly at the grass roots level. We believe rugby has a significant role in building communities and via our partnerships with New Zealand Rugby and the Provincial Rugby Union Group we hope to give back to the communities that have supported us for over 45 years. 

Provincial Union Rugby

In 2024 we announced a new partnership with the 14 provincial unions throughout New Zealand, becoming the official insurance broker of the NZ provincial rugby union group. This was an unprecedented collaboration with the 14 provincial rugby unions who participate in the men’s Bunnings Warehouse National Provincial Championship (NPC) and the women’s Farah Palmer Cup (FPC).

Since then we’ve joined forces with the provincial rugby unions on various intiatives to promote and uplift the sport of rugby to all New Zealanders by creating an environment where everyone can play, watch, celebrate, and belong to this great game.

Across the country you’ll see Gallagher at your favourite NPC and FPC sports grounds as well as on the live broadcast on Sky TV and TVNZ. For those in stadium, you’ll find us on the pitch at half time with Gallagher Golden Goals and form 2025 fans can participate the in beloved kicking challenge right from your couch with the Gallagher Golden Goals mobile game. 

New Zealand Rugby

In 2025 we expanded our support for rugby in New Zealand with a partnership with our Teams in Black. Gallagher becomes the Official Insurance Broker of NZR, and the brand will appear on both the training and match day shorts of all NZR’s national teams, including the All Blacks, Black Ferns, Māori All Blacks, and Sevens teams

Through this 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’s commitment to protecting the rules and fairness of the game at all levels in New Zealand.

Gallagher Club Kickback

Via Club Kickback, we are pleased to be giving back to our communities by supporting rugby.

As the official insurance partner of the National Provincial Rugby Union group and Official Insurance Broker of New Zealand Rugby, Gallagher are helping grow our national game at every level for everyone.

At the foundation level of the game, community club rugby, we acknowledge that funding can be a real struggle for these volunteer based organisations. As part of our desire to give back to our communities, we created a means to assist rugby clubs with on-going financial support. We call it Club Kickback.

Club Kickback is fundraising with a difference. When a business associated with a rugby club chooses Gallagher Insurance as their trusted insurance adviser, we’ll donate 15% of our commission to the club.

This isn’t a one-off initiative. We’ll continue to make this donation to the club for every year the business owner chooses to arrange their insurance renewal through us.

We think it’s a win-win. Club members, sponsors and supporters receive competitive insurance solutions for their businesses from Gallagher, while becoming an honorary sponsor of their club. Their club has the opportunity for ongoing financial support from a Gallagher donation.
