Great Britain’s Women’s Tag Rugby team are reigning World Champions — and they’re heading back to defend their title at the ITF Tag World Cup in Australia this October. Vauxhall businesses have a rare chance to be part of the journey.
Several squad members live and work right here in Vauxhall, so this isn’t a distant sponsorship ask from an unknown team — these are your neighbours, your colleagues, your community, competing on the world stage.
They are self-funded athletes, balancing elite training with full-time jobs and everyday life. Their 2026 schedule includes training camps across the UK, the British & Irish Cup in Dublin in August, then the World Cup in Australia in October. Without financial support, the cost of competing can be a barrier to selection. That means talent alone isn’t always enough.
Vauxhall One is already on board, helping amplify the team’s fundraising campaign and organising free tag rugby sessions open to anyone who works in the area. Want to meet the players, try the sport and see what World Cup-level rugby looks and feels like? Later this summer, you’ll get that chance – keep an eye on our What’s On page for more details coming soon.
What’s In It For Your Business?
Sponsorship tiers start from under £500 at bronze level, rising to gold partnerships of £5,000 and above. Benefits scale with your investment and include:
- Social media recognition and kit logo placement
- Tournament and international visibility
- Bespoke brand activation opportunities
- Tag rugby experiences for your staff
The team’s reach is significant: over 40,000 tag players across the UK and Ireland, nearly 500,000 in Australia, and recent Instagram content pulling more than 55,000 views. This is a growing sport with a growing audience, and your brand could be front and centre.
Can’t commit to full sponsorship? Donations via GoFundMe are welcome, as is in-kind support: Nutrition, kit, physio, technology or travel assistance all make a genuine difference.
Kirsty Clarke, World Cup-winning player and coach, says, “As world champions, we know what it takes to represent our country — and to win. At this level, opportunity should be defined by ability, not affordability.”
