Premium Partners standing ‘For the Fern’

Following exciting recent announcements, the New Zealand Team is proud to welcome a growing group of Premium Partners to the New Zealand Team commercial whānau.  

Our Premium Partner family of ASB, Kathmandu and One NZ are standing ‘For the Fern’ and helping back the New Zealand Team who represent Aotearoa New Zealand on the world stage. 

‘For the Fern’ champions Kiwi ambition, pride and belief. It is built around the New Zealand Team's emotional resonance, cultural reach and trusted status. It celebrates the journey, success and unity: the daily work, setbacks, support networks and breakthrough moments behind every New Zealand Team performance.  

The humility the New Zealand Team are well known for is a comfortable companion for the pride and ambition the Team represents. It is belief in this movement that inspired our Premium Partners to join the New Zealand Team whānau.  

Our athletes are consistently successful because they prepare, improve and perform with mana. It is the backing of whānau, coaches, support staff, national sporting organisations, communities, funders and commercial partners that helps the New Zealand Team step onto the world stage with confidence. 

ASB, the Official Bank to the New Zealand Team, shares a belief that progress comes through consistent effort, along with the right support, encouragement and opportunities. Through this Premium Partnership, ASB provides direct support for the New Zealand Team to Glasgow 2026, LA28 and Brisbane 2032 while also helping inspire young New Zealanders through their support of the NZOC Education Programme which gives students the opportunity to hear directly from New Zealand Team athletes about the Olympic values of Excellence, Friendship and Respect as well goal setting, preparation and perseverance. 

Kathmandu, the Official Apparel Partner to the New Zealand Team, is equipping athletes, coaches and support staff for the journey ahead. From training and village wear to Commonwealth and Olympic Games uniforms, this Premium Partnership brings together a proudly Kiwi brand and the New Zealand Team, united by a commitment to performance, innovation and representing Aotearoa New Zealand with pride and excellence on the world stage.  

One NZ, Official Telco to the New Zealand Team, is helping strengthen the connection between New Zealanders and the athletes who wear the fern. This Premium Partnership celebrates the core values of the New Zealand Team while also creating new opportunities for New Zealanders to connect with the athletes, their stories and their performances on the world stage.  

The New Zealand Team also acknowledges and thanks their existing and highly valued Official Partners, suppliers and supporters, alongside the Global Partners of the IOC’s TOP Programme. Their ongoing contribution remains fundamental to the New Zealand Team ecosystem.
