Sport

Sport is a way of life for so many Australians, either through participation as a spectator watching your favourite team on the weekend. Some of our well-known sports sponsorships include:

Australian Open

ANZ is an Associate Sponsor of the Australian Open. Held in Melbourne each January, the Australian Open is considered one of the world’s premier sporting events. Known as the Grand Slam of the Asia Pacific the Australian Open has a strong Australian heritage, as well as having widely recognised appeal as a regional event in New Zealand, the Pacific and Asia. ANZ will sponsor the Australian Open for 3 years from 2010.

ANZ Championship

ANZ has been the major sponsor of the ANZ Championship since the competition began in 2008.

The ANZ Championship consists of 69 matches played over 17 weeks across Australian and New Zealand.

Network Ten Australia will broadcast all matches played in Australia on TEN and all matches played in New Zealand on ONE.

The ANZ Junior Club of the Week, launched in 2011 is an expansion of ANZ’s support of netball in the community. Junior netball clubs across Australia can apply for weekly cash and equipment grants which have been developed by ANZ to support netball at a junior level.

ANZ is pleased to be supporting this leading sport for women's participation and we look forward to the continued growth of netball in New Zealand and Australia as a result of the competition.

ANZ Stadium

In 2008, ANZ acquired a seven-year naming rights sponsorship of ANZ Stadium. The stadium is one of the world's great sporting and entertainment arenas and because of the 2000 Olympics, holds a unique place in the hearts of all Australians.

Australians are passionate about their sport and we see this partnership as a sign of ANZ's continuing commitment both to New South Wales and to all levels of sport in Australia and New Zealand.
