Glasgow played host to ten action-packed days of competition (23 July – 2 August), as approximately 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories competed across 10 sports and six para sports at the 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Kit built for the big stage

Kukri proudly supported five partner nations throughout the games – Team England, Team Canada, Team Barbados, Team Guernsey and Team Anguilla, creating official kit and delegate wear for hundreds of athletes to compete on the biggest stage. Kukri also supported Netball Northern Ireland, with the team securing their first-ever Commonwealth Games victory against Trinidad and Tobago.

Ahead of the games, Kukri unveiled the official Team England competition kit, designed in collaboration with Team England and inspired by Glasgow’s creative identity – drawing on the city’s street art and design heritage.

The collection was also built with sustainability in mind, featuring increased recycled materials and reduced packaging across production.

A games to remember

Across the five nations, Kukri-kitted athletes won a combined 174 medals – including 48 gold, 67 silver and 59 bronze.

“The feedback on the kit has been fantastic, and to see the athletes performing at their best while wearing it means everything to us. We were honoured to play a part in these nations creating new legacies and memories that will last a lifetime.”

Kukri would like to congratulate every athlete, coach, support staff member and nation who contributed to a magnificent ten days of sport in Glasgow.

We are proud to have stood alongside our teams every step of the way and celebrate the incredible achievements that made the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games one to remember.

Kukri Sports and Barbados Olympic Association Extend Successful Partnership

Kukri Sports is pleased to announce the extension of its partnership with the Barbados Olympic Association (BOA), continuing a relationship that has supported Team Barbados on the world stage since 2018.

Over the past seven years, Kukri has supplied bespoke apparel for Barbados’ athletes, coaches and officials competing at major events including the Commonwealth Games, Pan American Games, Central American and Caribbean Games, and the Olympic Games. Each collection has been designed to combine technical performance with designs that reflect the pride and identity of Barbados.

This includes new kit designed for the upcoming Commonwealth Games and Santo Domingo CAC Games, which features Barbados’ new logo and a bold new look to celebrate a new era on two big international stages.

The renewed agreement will see Kukri remain the BOA’s Official Apparel Partner, providing competition, training, travel and presentation wear as Team Barbados prepares for the next cycle of international competition.

Jamie Williams, Vice President at North America, said:

“We’re delighted to continue our partnership with the Barbados Olympic Association. Over the years we’ve built a strong relationship, and it’s been a privilege to play a small part in the journey of Team Barbados. We look forward to continuing to provide high-quality apparel that athletes can wear with pride whenever they represent their country, especially at the upcoming Commonwealth Games and Santo Domingo CAC Games.”

Gail Craig, Barbados Olympic Association Inc. Chair of the Uniform Committee, said “Over the years, Kukri has outfitted our athletes for numerous prestigious competitions, including the CAC, PanAm, Junior PanAm, Commonwealth, and Commonwealth Youth Games. They also supported our weightlifting team and, most recently, our rugby team at the Santo Domingo 2026 CAC Games.

“Our athletes are always proud to represent us in Kukri apparel. To us, Kukri feels like family. We deeply appreciate their dedication, particularly their focus on providing sustainable and recyclable fabrics, which reflects our own commitment to environmental responsibility.”

The extension reflects Kukri’s continued commitment to supporting athletes and sporting organisations around the world with bespoke teamwear designed for performance, comfort and national pride.

Five Partner Nations Ready to Take Centre Stage in Glasgow

Five nations, one stage, a commonwealth of ambition. Discover the teams, athletes and stories to watch as Kukri’s partners prepare for Glasgow 2026.

Team England: Chasing Commonwealth success

Team England arrive in Glasgow as one of the leading sporting nations in the Commonwealth after an impressive Birmingham 2022 campaign, finishing second on the medal table with 57 golds.

With world-class athletes across a range of sports, expectations will once again be high as they target more standout performances.

They will do so wearing a kit that reflects performance and place. Unveiled by Kukri, the design draws inspiration from Glasgow’s iconic art and architecture, combining bold visuals with high-performance materials developed alongside athletes.

Team Canada: A nation built for big moments

Canada enjoyed a hugely successful Birmingham Games, finishing third overall with 92 medals, including 26 golds.

Among the standouts was Summer McIntosh, who at just 15 claimed gold in the 400m individual medley, while also breaking a record and adding five more medals.

Known for producing elite talent across sports, Canada will arrive in Glasgow with a combination of experienced performers and emerging athletes eager to make their mark.

Kukri will once again provide official ceremony wear and athlete apparel, continuing a successful partnership from the past two Games.

Team Barbados: Pride, passion and opportunity

For Barbados, the Commonwealth Games represent more than competition – they are a chance to shine on one of sport’s biggest stages.

After securing three medals at Birmingham 2022, including a gold medal from Sada Williams in the women’s 400m, the nation will look to build on that success and inspire the next generation.

Kukri’s long-standing partnership with Barbados continues into Glasgow, with designs that proudly showcase the nation’s identity and colours.

Team Anguilla: Inspiring a nation

Commonwealth Sport Anguilla will head to Glasgow determined to showcase the talent, dedication and passion that exists across the Eastern Caribbean nation.

The Games provides a unique opportunity to compete alongside the world’s best, create lasting memories and inspire future generations.

Kukri will once again support the team with performance apparel designed to reflect the pride and identity of the nation on the international stage.

Looking ahead to the games, which begin on 23 July, Andrew Ronnie, Group CEO at Kukri Sports, said “We are incredibly proud to support our partners at the Commonwealth Games.

Team Guernsey: Small island, big ambition

Team Guernsey return to the Commonwealth Games looking to build on a proud tradition of punching above their weight on the international stage.

At Birmingham 2022, a 28-strong team secured two historic medals which was their first in 28 years, underlining the island’s ability to deliver on the big stage.

In Glasgow, they will be represented by 20 athletes across four sports, all aiming to make their mark in their competition kit designed by Kukri, combining high-performance design with the island’s identity on the global stage.

“It’s an honour to help athletes feel confident when they represent their nations and empower them on the biggest stages. Glasgow 2026 will be a fantastic celebration and we can’t wait to see our partners compete.”

From established medal contenders to athletes chasing their first Commonwealth moment, each team will bring its own story to Glasgow 2026. Kukri is proud to play a part in supporting these journeys, and wish all partner athletes and teams the best of luck in Glasgow.

CHASING GLORY: NANDINI SHARMA

For Team Canada athlete Nandini Sharma, the road to the Commonwealth Games has been defined by resilience, perseverance and the people who have helped her along the way.

This summer, Sharma, known as one of Canada’s top wheelchair racers, will proudly wear the maple leaf at her second Commonwealth Games – an achievement that seemed unimaginable when she first discovered the sport less than a decade ago.

Her journey began on 15 May 2016 at her very first competition in Ontario. Despite battling rain, snow and hail in true Canadian fashion, Sharma found something that day that would shape her future.

“I fell in love with the sport,” she says. “And now I get to compete at my second Commonwealth Games. That’s crazy.”

Representing Canada on one of sport’s biggest stages is something Sharma doesn’t take for granted. Every training session, every competition and every challenge has led to this opportunity, and she’s determined to make the most of it.

As she prepares to line up against some of the Commonwealth’s best athletes, Sharma hopes all the hard work and sacrifices will come together when it matters most. But regardless of the result, simply earning the chance to compete for Canada again in the Women’s 400m and 1500m T54 events is something she is incredibly proud of.

Behind every athlete is a team of people who help make moments like these possible, and for Sharma, one person stands above all others.

“When I think about everyone who’s had such a massive impact on my career, I think about my friends and family, my coaches and my teammates. But the person who comes to mind most is my coach, Lisa Myers.”

Ahead of her first Commonwealth Games, Sharma’s father passed away suddenly – a devastating loss that left her questioning whether she wanted to compete, or even continue in the sport she loved.

Rather than pushing her towards competition, Myers gave Sharma exactly what she needed: patience, understanding and unwavering support.

“She just encouraged me to come to practice because she knew I loved it. She let me process my grief in the way that I needed to.”

For months, training became about far more than preparing for international competition.

For about six months after every practice, I cried,” Sharma recalls. “She either cried with me, held me while I cried, or just sat there with me and let me do whatever I needed to do.”

Looking back, Sharma has no doubt about the difference that support made.

“I don’t know if I’d still be in the sport if it wasn’t for her.”

That experience has shaped the athlete she has become and the legacy she hopes to leave beyond competition.

“I hope that one day I can look back and know that I had just as much of an impact on another athlete’s life as she’s had on mine.”

As another Commonwealth Games approaches, Sharma knows success isn’t measured solely by finishing positions. It’s about embracing the opportunity, trusting the work that has gone into reaching this point and representing Canada with pride.

She also has some simple advice for the next generation of athletes.

“Give back as much as you can.”

She still carries with her a mantra from her first coach, Ken Tom, that has guided her throughout her career.

“Plan the work, work the plan.”

It’s a reminder to trust the preparation, believe in the process and have confidence in everything you’ve done before stepping onto the start line.

And as the countdown to the Commonwealth Games continues, there’s one final piece of advice Sharma hasn’t forgotten.

“It’s supposed to be fun,” she says. “So just have some fun.”

When Nandini Sharma steps onto the start line in Team Canada’s colours this summer, she’ll be carrying more than years of training. She’ll be carrying the support of those who helped her through life’s toughest moments, the pride of representing her country once again, and the belief that all the hard work has prepared her to perform on one of the biggest stages in Commonwealth sport.

Mental Health Awareness Week Spotlight: Ellie Stevens & Oshawa Vikings stars

Injury, pressure and perspective – three partner athletes open up on mental health in sport.

Ellie Stevens – British Masters Runner & Brand Ambassador

For Ellie, running has always been more than competition.

“Running felt like freedom in a way nothing else ever did. It became not just a sport, but a form of expression and, over time, a form of therapy for my mind as much as my body.”

Her perspective shifted after illness interrupted her career.

“Being diagnosed with M.E. stripped me back to the basics of who I was,” she recalled. “It taught me that self-worth cannot be tied purely to performance.”

Now, balance is central to her approach.

“Recovery, sleep, nutrition and mental wellbeing are just as important as the workouts themselves.

“Competing now comes from a place of gratitude rather than pressure, which I believe has actually been the key factor that’s allowed me to perform at a higher level.”

For Ellie, resilience is about awareness.

“Real resilience is quiet. It’s about showing up on the hard days – but also knowing when to rest and when to ask for help.”


Robbie Wingrove – Oshawa Vikings Men’s Captain

For Robbie, rugby provides structure and stability.

“Rugby has always given me purpose, structure and confidence. No matter what challenges life presents, the game has been an anchor that keeps me grounded.”

Like many athletes, injury tested that foundation.

“The toughest challenge came through injury. What got me through it was the support of teammates who pushed me to stay positive and focused.”

Returning to play became a defining moment.

“Winning bronze in the national championship remains one of the proudest moments of my career.

“It reminded me how powerful team support can be.”

He also believes the culture around rugby is improving.

“Real toughness is about being honest, supporting your teammates and creating an environment where everyone feels valued.”

On mental health in sport, he is clear in his message.

“Every player deserves to feel heard and supported and I recommend anyone to speak up – you always have a voice and asking for help is a sign of strength.”

Cam Wood – Oshawa Vikings Women’s Captain

For Cam, rugby is a mental release.

“Rugby has been the perfect outlet for my mental health. When I step on the field everything else melts away.

 “I’ve found some of my closest friends for life through the club and they have helped me to grow into the mentally strong individual I am today.”

She also recognises the challenge of opening up in sport.

“You have to remind yourself that we are all human.

“My biggest support is my older sister. We both understand the toll it can take on not only your body, but also your mind.”

Cam’s message to others this Mental Health Awareness Week is simple.

“Don’t let the fear of speaking up outweigh your need for support. Sharing what you’re going through can give your mind the peace it needs.”

Mental Health Awareness Week highlights the importance of speaking openly and supporting one another in sport and beyond.

Kukri is proud to support athlete wellbeing on and off the field.

Empowering Women In Sport With UBC Women’s Rugby

Supporting women in sport isn’t just about kit – it’s about creating opportunities, celebrating athletes and breaking barriers.

On International Women’s Day, it’s about representation, confidence and investing in the next generation.

One story that embodies this spirit is UBC Women’s Rugby. As official kit supplier for over a decade, UBC Women’s Rugby continues to set the standard in Western Canada, winning four consecutive Canada West 7s titles, six consecutive Canada West 15s titles, back-to-back U SPORTS national championships, and with six players competing in last year’s Rugby Women’s World Cup.

We spoke with Olivia Sarabura, a key part of UBC’s recent success, about her journey, the growth of women’s rugby and what it means to be a woman in sport today.

“Being a part of the UBC Women’s Rugby program means everything to me. When I first started playing, I could not have imagined the places this sport would take me.

“It’s an incredible opportunity to compete at such a high level, and I hope my journey shows young girls that you don’t have to choose between education and playing the sport you love.”

Now entering her sixth year with the squad, Olivia said rugby has opened doors to both national and international experiences.

“It’s given me so many opportunities to be the best athlete and person that I can be.

“I’ve been able to represent my country playing rugby sevens and play for the best women’s rugby program in the country, something that wouldn’t have been possible a few decades ago.

“Growing up, I didn’t really see many female athletes on TV or in the news. Women’s rugby wasn’t popular at the time, and no one really covered what it was like to be a woman in sport.

“Now, I’m surrounded by world-class athletes who are my teammates, friends and family. I’m so grateful to be around them.”

When it comes to game day and giving her best, wearing Kukri kit is more than just putting on a uniform.

“Our coaches always say that our kit represents so much more than just us. They represent our team, the people who believe in us and the athletes who came before,” she explained.

“When I put on my Kukri kit, I play better because I know that I’m not just playing for myself – but all the people who made it possible for me to put it on and play the sport I love.”

While celebrating progress, Olivia stressed the importance of ongoing investment.

“Women’s rugby in Canada has so much potential. We have talented athletes, coaches and supporters who do a lot of unnoticed work to keep the sport at the highest level possible, but they need more support, funding and research.

“We need to keep elevating women’s rugby and investing in the future of girls and women.”

Olivia also encouraged newcomers to take the leap and get involved.

“I want young girls and women to know they can be strong, intense and aggressive, and find a sport that welcomes that.

“As a teacher in training, I often speak to young girls about rugby because they don’t realize that it is even an option for them.

“That’s why International Women’s Day is so important, it’s a chance to thank the women who paved the way and reflect on what still needs to be done.”

Kukri Sports is proud to stand alongside female athletes like Olivia and the UBC Women’s Rugby team — providing kit, support, and a platform for women to excel in sport and education worldwide.
