The Hurricanes have announced an exciting new partnership with Swyftx, joining the other New Zealand Super Rugby Pacific clubs in teaming up with the digital assets platform ahead of the 2026 campaign.

The collaboration marks a major milestone for both rugby and the growing digital economy in New Zealand.

“This is an exciting development for New Zealand Super Rugby Clubs Limited and for our Super Rugby Clubs in New Zealand,” said Roger Clark, spokesperson for New Zealand Super Rugby Clubs Limited.
“Partnerships like this are critical for keeping the game strong, sustainable, and accessible to fans.”

Paul Quickenden, country manager of Swyftx NZ, described the sponsorship as a defining moment for the intersection of sport and technology in Aotearoa.

“Rugby is part of New Zealand’s DNA, and this partnership gives us a platform to invest directly in the game’s future,” he said.
“It’s about supporting a sport that unites communities while introducing more Kiwis to the opportunities that come with embracing digital innovation.”

The partnership is part of a wider alliance between Swyftx and New Zealand Super Rugby Clubs Limited, which oversees the collective commercial interests of the country’s Super Rugby teams.

Fans can expect a range of interactive and community-focused initiatives to roll out as part of the collaboration, blending the passion of rugby with the innovation of digital finance.
