All Blacks

2011 marks 25 years of Steinlager's unconditional support of the All Blacks.

As the All Blacks longest standing sponsor, we have stood by the team as they have faced various challenges all over the world, and 2011 and beyond will be no different.

With a historical winning record of 75%, the All Blacks have one of the greatest winning records of any global sports team in history, and are recognised the world over.

Much like Steinlager, they are New Zealand's finest and we are extremely proud to support them every time they step out onto the field. Win or lose Steinlager will continue to unconditionally stand by them after each and every game.

Steinlager extends support for International Series

Irish and French teams to visit in Steinlager Series

The New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) and All Blacks sponsor Lion have announced that Steinlager will continue it's sponsorship of the home international Test series in 2012 and 2013.

Next year's Steinlager Series will feature three home Tests against Ireland in June, while the following year the French will also visit for three Tests in June. It will be the first time in many years that the All Blacks will play a three test series against touring teams.

NZRU CEO Steve Tew welcomed the continuation of the Steinlager Series as a superb opportunity for our fans to enjoy tours by some of the world's best teams.

"Steinlager has had a long association with the All Blacks and this announcement reflects their ongoing dedication to the team."

"We know the Steinlager Series over the next two years will be great for the team and fans alike. Having world class rugby action on our shores and against two of our oldest rivals is what we all look forward to."

Todd Gordon of Steinlager says, "We know this is a big year for the All Blacks, but we are also committed to them in the future. We have been unconditional supporters of the team for the last 25 years, and we intend that to continue."

The Irish visit will be the first ever three-Test series between the All Blacks and the Irish, while the French series will be the first three-Test series against New Zealand since 1968.

The first Steinlager Series in 2010 featured tests against Ireland and Wales.

More information on the upcoming Steinlager Series, including the match dates and venues, will be announced later this year.
