NFP is also the official team partner of the Women’s 15s Senior Team and will develop a program to provide girls with the opportunity to play rugby

Rugby Canada and NFP, a leading insurance broker and consultant that provides property and casualty (P&C), corporate benefits, retirement, and individual solutions, today announced a multiyear, signature partnership. NFP becomes the Official Insurance Partner and the official team partner of the Women’s 15s Senior Program. NFP and Rugby Canada will also collaborate on a program to provide girls across Canada with opportunities to get involved in the sport and engage with Rugby Canada teams.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Rugby Canada and expand our global sponsorship program with a specific focus on fostering the support and growth of women and girl rugby players,” said John Haas, president of NFP in Canada. “We love how sports bring people together and we’re looking forward to being part of the passionate and engaged Rugby Canada community. Also, because sports empower self-esteem, leadership and teamwork in young people, we’re particularly excited about the pathway program, which will introduce the sport to more girls in the 13-16 age range who have a diversity of backgrounds and experiences."

As the official team partner of the Women’s 15s Senior Program, NFP will be featured as the front of jersey sponsor at all Rugby Canada Women’s 15s home and away competitions and will be integrated into the current campaign for all upcoming matches. The NFP logo will also feature on the team’s training kit when they compete in the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand this October and November.

“It’s great to welcome NFP as our Official Insurance Partner. Their dedicated support of our women’s 15s and girls’ programs will make a meaningful difference,” said Gareth Rees, Director, Commercial Partnerships and Broadcast at Rugby Canada. “Their focus on helping grow the grassroots of our game is very important to us and we’ve already seen great engagement and ideas from their team. We look forward to launching the girls’ program, which will address an existing gap in participation and encourage young girls to stay active and involved in the rugby community.”
