Since joining the tournament’s sponsor lineup in 2024, Gallagher has been a strong advocate for the values at the heart of the New Zealand Open, bringing people together, celebrating excellence, and showcasing the best of New Zealand to the world. Their continued involvement underscores the company’s passion for supporting events that not only elevate sport but also strengthen community bonds across the country.
As an official partner of Save the Kiwi, Gallagher is committed to supporting the protection and celebration of one of New Zealand’s most iconic native species.
Building on this commitment, Gallagher will introduce the Kiwi Art Trail to the Open this year, an exciting new experience for everyone who comes along. It is a celebration of creativity, culture, and community, the Trail invites visitors to explore the curated collection of artworks by Kiwi artists, with each piece telling a uniquely local story.
The trail will weave through the tournament precinct, offering fans a fresh way to engage with the event, bringing together sport and art in a way which is both interactive and inspiring. Visitors will also have the opportunity to bid for the sculptures on display, with proceeds going to support the work of Save the Kiwi and the New Zealand Open Charitable Trust.
For Gallagher, supporting the New Zealand Open is about more than sponsorship, it’s about relationships. As our trusted broker partner, Gallagher is known for its people-first approach, offering tailored insurance solutions backed by global expertise and local understanding. The company’s involvement in the tournament reflects that same philosophy, investing in partnerships that uplift communities, celebrate Kiwi achievements, and build lasting connections.
“Being part of the New Zealand Open aligns with what’s important to us,” says Debbie Lowe, Gallagher Head of Marketing and Sponsorship.
“We’re deeply committed to supporting the communities in which we live and work. Events like the New Zealand Open bring people together from across the world, and we’re proud to play a meaningful role in creating experiences that resonate with Kiwis.”
The New Zealand Open holds a special place in both the national and international sporting landscape, uniting players, fans, volunteers, businesses, and families in a celebration of competition, heritage, and community pride. Gallagher’s continued support helps the tournament grow its reach, broaden its impact, and add to the experience for thousands of New Zealanders who take part each year.
As the 2026 event approaches, the New Zealand Open team is thrilled to be working alongside Gallagher once again. Their commitment and genuine connection to the community continue to enrich the tournament.
