Hong Kong China Rugby Extend Partnership With DHL Express

DHL Express Hong Kong has extended its partnership with Hong Kong China Rugby until 2029. DHL Express is a long-standing supporter of rugby at a global level and has partnerships with European Investec Champions Cup Rugby, the British & Irish Lions, and top club sides including Harlequins in the United Kingdom, The Stormers in South Africa and Munster in Ireland.

In a press release online, HKCR said “DHL was solidifying its role in supporting local rugby teams to shine in international championships and promoting the sport at all levels. This elevates HKCR’s existing relationship with DHL Express Hong Kong, which has been the organisation’s official partner since 2024.”

As part of the partnership, the DHL logo will proudly be displayed on the back of the playing jersey (below the number) for Hong Kong China 7s and 15s representative teams – first done so in Cape Town at the recent HSBC World Rugby Challenger Sevens opening legs.

Andy Chiang, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, DHL Express Hong Kong and Macau, said: “Through our partnership with Hong Kong China Rugby, we are not just supporting rugby. We are also nurturing a vibrant community and a sports culture in the city. We will empower young athletes, support their development, and inspire a new generation to embrace the values of teamwork, passion and the speed at which the game is played that define the sport.

Along with our recent partnership with Kai Tak Sports Park, this reflects our commitment to Hong Kong’s sports development. At DHL Express, we believe in the power of connection—between athletes and fans through the game. We are shaping the future of rugby and fostering sportsmanship in Hong Kong, one play at a time.”

Bryan Rennie, Executive Director of Commercial and Business at Hong Kong China Rugby, added: “A key area that DHL’s investment will support this year is preparations for our Men’s 15s squad. The team will take on the challenge of a Rugby World Cup qualification campaign in the summer. They aim to make history as the first men’s team from Hong Kong China to play at a World Cup. We love working with partners who share the same goals of growing the profile and interest in the sport of rugby.”

This partnership will support HKCR to:

• Strengthen their range of performance programmes
• Develop young HKCR talent
• Support HKCR athletes at the elite level
