Canterbury was created in 1904 when John Lane, Pringle Walker, and Alfred Rudkin started making woollen clothing in Canterbury, New Zealand. Since the brand kicked off, we have designed kit that is crafted for this demanding game. From the beginning, our roots stood firm in New Zealand soil. Years later, the three iconic kiwis of the Canterbury design are not only featured on our shirts, but also in rugby history. Today, our world-class equipment is the result of over a century of craftsmanship. Today, we back some of the top teams in the world. Canterbury has been the official kit partner to the British and Irish Lions since 2017, and to Ireland Rugby since 2014. The brand also provides equipment for the Japan national rugby union team. Built to last. Truly tough. Designed for players.
