Driving Business and Growing Sport

The New Zealand Long Blacks is a brand impacting sport whilst gaining global attention, marking sports history in Long Drive and becoming the first National Team for Xtreme Drivers League. Established in 2017 the New Zealand Long Blacks are current (back to back) Trans Tasman Clash winners, taking claim to the Darren Wise - Stingray Trophy on home turf for two consecutive years. The 2019 Trans Tasman Clash was threatened by Australian Bushfires so the event was brought to Pupuke Golf Club, Auckland (Home to New Zealand Long Blacks) February 2020 where national sports history was landmarked on home-turf, with the back to back win. The whirl-wind impact of the global pandemic has caused another shift in dates for the Trans Tasman Clash, with a double event now planned in Australia, November 2021.

With the mission to give back and make a difference, the New Zealand Long Blacks dedication to grow the sport of Long Drive and Xtreme Drivers League, goes beyond the tee, and as major sponsor to the Nelson Golf Club PGA Pro-Am for two consecutive years, the support to promote Golf is obvious. The cross promotion of both sporting codes is beneficial to both the venues and players and the continued growth of the sport. Building the business of the New Zealand Long Blacks both as a National Team and as a brand comes with huge investment and dedication with the mission to make this national team a household name. Sports history in hand, the New Zealand Long Blacks merchandise is already in high demand and with 8 registered trademarks, merchandise is about to be available to our local and overseas fans. The famous slogan Golf Just Got Loud is proudly being used by fans all around the world and will be seen on New Zealand Long Blacks supporters gear.

The New Zealand Long Blacks are proud to have the support of Major sponsor - Cavalier Homes Waikato, JP Liebenberg is fully invested in the vision of the team and sport and developments are underway for the 2021/2022 season.
