The New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) has renewed its partnership with Toyota New Zealand, confirming Toyota as the Official Vehicle Partner of the New Zealand Team through until the end of 2028.
The partnership covers the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, as well as all Youth and pre‑elite Games within the term.
NZOC Chief Executive and Secretary General Nicki Nicol said the partnership makes a real difference.
“Toyota helps keep the NZOC’s people and programmes moving while also helping to create connection between Aotearoa’s communities and the New Zealand Team.”
An exciting element of the partnership is a nationwide community activation programme in the lead‑up to Los Angeles 2028, designed to build excitement and connection with fans, schools and clubs throughout New Zealand.
Toyota New Zealand’s Assistant Vice President of Marketing, Susanne Hardy said the partnership reflects a shared dedication to supporting Kiwi athletes.
“We’re pleased to renew our partnership with the New Zealand Olympic Committee. For Toyota, this collaboration goes beyond brand presence - it’s about making a positive impact. It allows us to support Kiwi athletes in their pursuit of excellence and bring communities together through the shared spirit of sport.”
