Kukri’s Partner Nations Shine at Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games

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.
