Canterbury of New Zealand is located in the Canterbury province of New Zealand and had its beginnings in the late 1880’s and when two family companies joined forces in 1904 the foundations of the Canterbury of New Zealand brand were laid. For many years Canterbury of New Zealand was a major part of the Lane Walker Rudkin group of companies and was formed to market the “Canterbury of New Zealand” brand. The company that started making knitwear in the Canterbury of New Zealand province of New Zealand is now known as “Canterbury of New Zealand” and is recognised as the number one rugby apparel brand in the world.
The brand is distributed widely around the world focussing on rugby playing nations. The head office is based in Christchurch (the capital of the Canterbury province) on the South Island of New Zealand. There are operations in Brisbane, Australia; Manchester, United Kingdom; and Cape Town, South Africa. The brand is also manufactured and marketed in Japan under licence by Canterbury of New Zealand Japan. In New Zealand, Australia and Asia the company has dedicated specialty stores which sit alongside duty free, sports, department, and menswear stores (Check out the ‘Store Locator’ to find your nearest store).
No other apparel company in the world has the same singular focus on rugby as Canterbury of New Zealand.
Canterbury of New Zealand built its foundations in club rugby, the grass roots of the game, and while it outfits high profile international sides such as Australia, Scotland, Ireland, Fiji, and Japan, it has never lost sight of its beginnings.
It was a chance request by a friend of one of the company’s founders that led the company into manufacturing rugby jerseys. The avid rugby player wanted to see if the company could produce a playing jersey that would not only be tough enough to withstand the rigours of the game, but would also be comfortable and stylish.
In fact, Canterbury of New Zealand made its jerseys so well that word soon leaked out to other rugby playing nations. Canterbury of New Zealand jerseys found their way all over the world including North America where they became just as desirable off the field as on. During the late 1970’s the Canterbury of New Zealand jersey became a hot item in the North American casual wear market.
Whilst the growth of ‘lifestyle’ clothing for the company has been nothing short of fantastic, to be successful off the field Canterbury of New Zealand recognises that it must remain the champion on the field. No other apparel company in the world has the same singular focus on rugby as Canterbury of New Zealand.
