Swire Shipping has extended its sponsorship of the Fijian Drua, including the Naming Rights Sponsorship of the Drua Men’s Team, continuing one of the most successful and recognisable partnerships in rugby in the region. The sponsorship extension also covers Swire Shipping’s sponsorship of the Drua Women, where they will continue to feature prominently on the playing jersey.

A founding partner of the franchise Swire Shipping was the first naming rights sponsor of the Drua Men and has supported the team since its inception. The extension sees the company remain as front-of-jersey sponsor, reinforcing a long-standing relationship built on shared values and a strong connection to the people and communities of Fiji and the Pacific.

Fijian Drua Chief Executive Officer Jeff Miller welcomed the extension and thanked Swire Shipping for its continued commitment to the Club.

“Swire Shipping has been with us on this journey since Day One, and their continued support is a tremendous endorsement of what this Club represents — not just in rugby, but in bringing pride, passion and inspiration to the people of Fiji,” said Miller.

“This partnership has grown into far more than a sponsorship. Swire Shipping and the Fijian Drua brands are now synonymous, and they are a crucial part of the Drua Vuvale, which includes both the Men’s and Women’s teams. We are delighted to continue building together.” Since joining forces with the Drua, Swire Shipping has played a key role in supporting the Club’s growth both on and off the field, while helping elevate the profile of Fijian rugby on the global stage.

Swire Shipping General Manager Pacific Alex Pattison said the company was proud to continue supporting a team that represents the spirit of the Pacific.

“The Drua represent resilience, pride and unity — qualities that reflect the communities we serve across the Pacific,” Pattison said.

“As a long-standing partner of the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua, we remain deeply committed to the people of Fiji and the wider region. We are proud to continue our support of a team that brings inspiration and opportunity to so many.”

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua and the McDonald’s Fiji Drua Women have rapidly become two of the most watched and passionately supported teams in their respective competitions, delivering strong crowds, broadcast audiences and growing international interest in Pacific rugby.

The Club also acknowledged Swire Shipping’s wider contribution to Fiji and the Pacific through its longstanding support of trade, connectivity and community development across the region.
