The Hurricanes are thrilled to announce a new and exciting partnership with renowned real estate company RE/MAX New Zealand.

You’ll get to see the distinctive RE/MAX balloon on the sleeves of the Hurricanes and Poua playing jerseys.

Regional owner and CEO of RE/MAX New Zealand and Fiji, Don Ha said: “It’s a dream come true to become a sponsor of a Super Rugby team. Since I was a teenager, I have always wanted to associate myself with a rugby team, and what better way than RE/MAX appearing on the jerseys of the Hurricanes and Poua team. Together with the fans of the Hurricanes, Poua, and Super Rugby, we look forward to helping those families on their journey of real estate ownership as well as also creating a life after sport legacy for the players.”

Hurricanes CEO Avan Lee said the new partnership with RE/MAX was exciting and the club were delighted to associate with someone of Don’s repute.

“It’s always great to welcome a new partner on board. Don and the team at RE/MAX are incredibly passionate about their business and we look forward to working closely with them to achieve our joint goals over the next few years.”
