Summer 2025 sees Kukri Sports team up with Dubai Hurricanes in a new partnership, who are one of the UAE’s leading multi-sport community clubs, providing Rugby, Netball and Cricket to over 1000 members. 

Under the agreement, Kukri will supply the Hurricanes with high-quality, customised playing kit and training apparel, designed to support the team’s performance on and off the field, oval and courts. This collaboration will also extend to the club’s wider community, including youth teams and development programmes, ensuring players of all ages benefit from Kukri’s premium sportswear.

Founded in 1999, the Dubai Hurricanes have established themselves as a powerhouse in Middle Eastern rugby, boasting a strong presence in both the men’s and women’s leagues and a thriving grassroots programme. The Netball division are the Gulf Ladies League champions and cater to everyone from U6 beginners through to Senior elite players and this year for men with a Mixed squad, in one of the fastest growing sports in the UAE.  Cricket is going from strength to strength with a dedicated coach and plans for a youth academy. In addition the club run an Academy taking coaching of all three sports into schools and dedicated netball and rugby hubs. The partnership reflects both organisations’ shared values of performance, innovation, and community engagement.

Chris Marshall, Global Brand Director at Kukri Sports, said:
“We are delighted to welcome the Dubai Hurricanes to the Kukri family. The Hurricanes are a club with a rich history, strong community roots, and an ambitious vision for the future. We look forward to working closely with them to deliver high-quality sportswear that reflects their identity and supports their success on the pitch.”

Jim Dickinson Club Chairman Dubai Hurricanes said

The design and quality reflects our heritage and history and will be unveiled on the club Memorial Day on 27th September at the 7’s stadium.”
