It would be an understatement to say Rugby Union is big in Queensland. It’s absolutely massive, with more than 400 clubs and 68,000 active participants across the state. Fans are connected and passionate and very proud of a history that goes back more than a hundred years. So, on Ford’s 100th anniversary in Australia, it made a lot of sense to combine these rich histories in an official partnership.

"Rugby runs red in Queensland and we’re delighted to have Ford Australia running with us all across our great state."

From logos proudly emblazoned on the playing uniform of the Queensland Reds to gracing the training kit of the Under-15s, U-16s and U-19s, Ford’s sponsorship embraces the breadth of Union in Queensland. QRU staff will be behind the wheels of a fleet of F-150’s, while equipment will be transported with ease in Reds-branded Transit vans.

Ironically, the sponsorship will take Ford beyond the boundaries of Queensland as the Reds compete against New Zealand, Fiji and others in the Super Rugby Pacific league. One of the fastest-growing sports on TV, the 12-team competition is one of the world’s best provincial competitions, taking the game to fresh heights.
It’s just the start of a thrilling relationship that will allow Ford to activate at match days, deliver community clinics and host Reds player appearances, right across the state.
