IHG Hotels & Resorts is renewing its partnership with Rugby Australia, extending a 24-year relationship for an additional three years through 2028. The partnership involves IHG hotels supporting Rugby Australia by accommodating players, team management, and Rugby Australia colleagues, as well as facilitating stays for fans in Australia and New Zealand.
Through the renewed agreement, IHG will continue to support Rugby Australia across Australia and New Zealand, using its hotel network and IHG One Rewards platform to provide fans with match-day experiences, stays, and rugby-related activities. IHG’s support has included welcoming teams and fans during major rugby events, such as the previous year’s Lions Tour in Australia.
IHG’s portfolio in Australia and New Zealand spans key capital cities, regional, and leisure destinations, supporting major sporting, business, and cultural events across the region.
