Support the Deaf Blacks – Japan Tour 2026

Help Our Team Represent New Zealand on the World Stage

The New Zealand Deaf Rugby Union (NZDRU) is proud to support the Deaf Blacks Sevens and Deaf Ferns Sevens teams as they prepare to represent Aotearoa New Zealand at the World Deaf Rugby Sevens Championship in Japan.

This is an incredible opportunity for our athletes to compete internationally, showcase their talent, and proudly represent the Deaf community and New Zealand on the world stage.

International tournaments are a significant financial commitment. Players are responsible for raising funds to help cover travel, accommodation, uniforms, tournament fees, meals, and other essential tour costs.

Your generosity can make a real difference.

Why Your Support Matters

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps our players achieve their dream of representing New Zealand.

Your support will help cover:

• International flights
• Accommodation
• Tournament registration fees
• Team uniforms and equipment
• Local transport
• Meals and tour expenses
• Player preparation and support

Together, we can ensure financial barriers do not prevent our talented Deaf athletes from competing at the highest level.

 

 

Become a Sponsor

Businesses and organisations can also partner with NZDRU by becoming an official sponsor.

To discuss sponsorship opportunities, please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.

Thank You

Every donation represents more than financial support, it is an investment in inclusion, opportunity, and the future of Deaf sport in New Zealand.

Thank you for standing behind our players as they proudly wear the silver fern in Japan.
