The Wallabies are thrilled to confirm a new chapter in their off-field hospitality program, announcing a two-year partnership with Lion that will see Hahn become the Official Beer of the team.

Tickets to the Wallabies 2026 home Tests are available to purchase here.

The partnership unites Hahn and the Wallabies in a shared ambition to celebrate the places and moments that bring rugby fans together, whether that be in sold-out stadiums, local pubs, rugby clubhouses or lounge rooms across the country.

With the new partnership designed to enhance the fan experience from the stadium concourse to the corporate box, Hahn will be the primary beer served at all Wallabies home Test matches - starting with the Wallabies first Test of 2026 against Ireland in Sydney on July 4.

As well as this, supporters can expect to see interactive pre-match activations at Wallabies House, helping to create a lively atmosphere in the lead up to kick-off.

There will also be the development of exclusive co-branded merchandise and product releases, blending the gold of the Wallabies with the distinct identity of Hahn.

Hahn branding will also be seen in the Wallabies' inner sanctum, with equipment - such as eskies, change-room mats, and towels – to be visible within the team's change rooms at home Tests.

Rugby Australia CEO Phil Waugh said, “LION and Hahn have a long and proud history of supporting our great game and we are delighted to welcome them back into the Australian Rugby family as Official Beer Partner of the Wallabies for at least the next two years.

“Whether in the grandstands, bars or changing rooms after a hard-fought game, Hahn has been part of many of Australian Rugby’s greatest moments and celebrations. And as we build towards an iconic year for Australian Rugby in 2027, this partnership will once again place the Wallabies front and centre across pubs, clubs and other venues where our fans come together.”

LION CEO & Managing Director, Anubha Sahasrabuddhe said: "We couldn’t be prouder to be back in the Wallabies' corner as the inaugural Nations Championship kicks off on home soil.

"This partnership is all about those moments of mateship between local and visiting fans that is so unique to international rugby.

"We’re looking forward to bringing that spirit to life for every fan, from the stadium, to the pub and the lounge room."
