Tuesday 29 August, 2017 - Netball New Zealand (NNZ) and Wrigley are proud to announce a new partnership ahead of the Silver Ferns first Test Match on home soil in 2017.

Wrigley, an internationally renowned confectionary company, joins the team as an official partner of the 2017 International Series and NNZ.

NNZ chief executive Jennie Wyllie says they’re excited to welcome Wrigley to the team for the 2017 international season.

“Wrigley is a brand we’ve all grown up with, and one that people all over the world love. We’re delighted to have them as part of the Netball family,” Wyllie said.

“Like the Silver Ferns, Wrigley prides itself on its Gold Medal standards and best-in-class innovation. We look forward to them being part of our match day experience at the upcoming Tests.”

With operations in more than 40 countries and distribution in more than 180 countries, Wrigley prides itself on bringing smiles to faces all over the world.

“We are really excited to be a part of such an exciting sport that is loved by many New Zealanders,” Ursula Irwin, Wrigley Country Manager said.

“Extra® gum is all about bringing out that inner confidence which comes with a clean and fresh mouth – when you feel your best, you perform at your best, which is why Extra® and Netball are such a great fit.”
