Official Match Ball from the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific Final

Early bids for the Official Match Ball from the 2024 Super Rugby Final can be made here

This is your chance to own a rare and unforgettable piece of New Zealand rugby history, the official match ball from the 2024 DHL Super Rugby Pacific Final, where the Blues secured a powerful victory over the Chiefs at Eden Park to claim the championship title.

Captain Patrick Tuipulotu led his team with pride and purpose, lifting the trophy on home turf in front of a packed crowd. This match-used ball was there for every defining moment and now stands as a lasting symbol of that incredible game.

Beyond the field, Patrick has been a driving force behind the creation of the Blues Charitable Trust. He believed players should do more than make token appearances in the community. His vision was to build a self-sustaining legacy of leadership that genuinely empowers young people. That belief helped shape the foundation of BCT and continues to guide our mahi today.

Thanks to the generosity of the Blues, and CEO Andrew Hore, this historic ball has been donated to support that kaupapa. Signed by Captain Patrick Tuipulotu and Head Coach, Vern Cotter, this is a rare collector’s item and a powerful tribute to the spirit of sport, leadership and community.
