Petersfield RFC has officially confirmed a new long-term partnership with Gilbert Rugby, one of the most iconic names in the sport, who will become the club’s Official Technical Kit Partner and Official Ball and Training Equipment Supplier.

The new agreement sees Gilbert Rugby provide technical playing kit, training wear, travel wear, match balls, and equipment for all senior and junior teams at Petersfield RFC, uniting the club under a single, high-performance identity. From our 1st XV players to the minis section, the entire club will be kitted out in world-class gear, supplied by a brand steeped in rugby heritage.

Stuart Barden, Chairman of Petersfield RFC, said: “This partnership reaffirms our commitment to on-pitch excellence - and what a way to do that than alongside such a large and well-respected brand. Gilbert Rugby is woven into the fabric of the sport, and to now see Petersfield RFC aligned with them is a proud moment for everyone involved. It’s an exciting time here at Petersfield RFC, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds with this partnership.”

Founded in 1823, Gilbert Rugby is one of the oldest sports companies in the world and has been the official ball supplier for every Rugby World Cup since 1995. Their unparalleled rugby expertise and legacy make them a perfect fit for Petersfield RFC’s ambitious plans, both on and off the pitch.

The new 2025/26 Petersfield RFC x Gilbert training range is now available to order via: www.gilbertrugby.com/collections/petersfield-rfc 

Select products from the new Gilbert range will also be available in-store at Penns Place, but before we can make room on the shelves, we need to clear out remaining stock from last season. Keep an eye out for special offers on last seasons collection.

The club’s new home and away kits - designed in collaboration with Gilbert - will be revealed ahead of the 2025/26 season via Petersfield RFC and Gilbert Rugby’s official channels. For the first time in the club’s history, supporter replica kits will be available for purchase, giving fans and younger members the opportunity to wear the badge with pride.

The partnership also includes a club kickback scheme, meaning every Gilbert purchase - even outside the Petersfield RFC range - helps support the club directly.

As a launch offer, supporters can enjoy 10% off all items in the Petersfield RFC collection using the exclusive code: A_EARLYBIRD-25-10

This offer runs until 31st July and is available at checkout via the official Petersfield webshop.
