Gilbert Rugby AUS/NZ

Gilbert Rugby AUS/NZ The Official Page of Gilbert Rugby Union Australia/New Zealand! Instagram: Grays International acquired the brand - James Gilbert - in 2002.

Thirty years before Harry Gray (Henry John Gray) set-up in Cambridge; William Gilbert was the boot and shoemaker to a Rugby School, operating from a small shop in which Grays still manage as a sports store today. Gilbert was supplying balls to the school in 1823 when William Webb Ellis picked up the ball, ran with it and the game of Rugby Football began. The Gilbert name has been synonymous with r

ugby ever since, with technological developments, change in rules, and the supply to leading national teams. Gilbert began exporting balls to Australia in the 1880’s and years later the Gilbert Xact ball was the Official Ball for the 2003 Rugby World Cup in Australia, having developed a new ball for each world cup since 1995. Gilbert has been the Official Match Ball of the ‘Super 14’ competition since its inception and is the Official Ball of the Waratahs, Reds and Brumbies.

Community rugby is built on people who give their time, their energy and their heart. Clubs like this are where friendships are formed, confidence grows and memories are made that last far beyond the final whistle.
