Fiji Rugby Union and FIJI Water Announce Four Year Multi-Million-Dollar Partnership

The Fiji Rugby Football Union Trust Board (FRFUTB) and FIJI Water today announced a renewed partnership that will have FIJI Water as the major sponsor of the men’s national 15s team for the next four years. This multi-million-dollar deal solidifies the commitment of both organizations to build the strongest team heading into the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia. FIJI Water will also continue to serve as the official water provider for Fiji Rugby.

This deal with Earth’s Finest Water will ensure the athletes have the essential resources they need to succeed at the highest level of competition both on and off the pitch. The deal builds on previous support FIJI Water has provided for the Flying Fijians when it was a supporting sponsor of the team during the 2020 Autumn Nations Cup and more recently, as the exclusive official title sponsor of the team leading up to the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.

“We are once again deeply grateful to FIJI Water for their continued support and belief in our vision,” said Peter Mazey, Chairman of the FRFUTB. “Our 2023 Rugby World Cup performance was boosted by their belief in the team to perform and the global rugby community had the opportunity to experience first-hand the FIJI Water Flying Fijians’ amazing performances against the best teams in the world. FIJI Water is an invaluable partner, and we look foward to another successful chapter as we work together to elevate Fiji Rugby to new heights and achieve remarkable success on the international stage.” 

“This is so much more than just a financial sponsorship—it is a testament to our shared values of excellence, integrity, and community development that unites both organizations. Together, we look forward to empowering our players, inspiring our loyal fans, and making a meaningful impact across Fiji.”

Craig Cooper, Executive Vice President of The Wonderful Company, said, “We are honored to continue our support of Fiji Rugby. Rugby holds a special place in the hearts of the people of Fiji and we treasure their success. In this pivotal time for rugby in Fiji, we have a tremendous opportunity to work together to build on all the momentum the team has and make Fiji rugby an even greater force globally. Our FIJI Water employees, along with everyone at our sister company, NPDL, are thrilled to continue this exciting journey with the FRU and the people of Fiji.”

The FIJI Water Flying Fijians have selected their 33-member squad for the first outing this year against the Barbarians at Twickenham on Saturday, June 22, followed by a match against the All Blacks in San

Diego on July 20. The FIJI Water logo will appear on the front of each player’s jersey, as well as on other apparel and gear for the FIJI Water Flying Fijians.

The Wonderful Company and its founders, Stewart and Lynda Resnick, have committed more than USD $2.5 billion in philanthropy and corporate social responsibility efforts globally, much of which is centered on tackling issues of education, health and wellness, affordable housing, infrastructure, the arts, and sustainability, to make a meaningful difference in California’s Central Valley, Fiji, and beyond. Launched in 2007, the FIJI Water Foundation, one of the largest philanthropic organizations in Fiji, has invested over FJD $35 million in community development, access to safe water, education, health and wellness, and environmental sustainability.
