Silver Fern is...

A sports equipment brand specializing in Rugby & Netball, and the oldest ball manufacturer in New Zealand, established around the 1950s.

The original company was acquired by All-Black star Lin Colling around the 1970s, where he took the business to the next level and became the main equipment supplier and the official Size 5 Ball for the All Blacks in the 1980s and 1990s.

We aim to help people achieve their dreamed lifestyle through sports, by innovating at the frontier of technology and come up with creative solutions.

Grassroots Sports Ambassador

We run the Pass it Forward campaign in New Zealand.

In partnership with Rebel Sport and the Tania Dalton Foundation we have donated over 70,000 balls to clubs and schools.

The mission of this campaign is to remove one of the barriers to participation by providing a ball to those in need. That's why for every Pass It Forward ball sold through Rebel Sport, we donate an identical ball to a deserving Kiwi club or school.

Every kid deserves the chance to play sport.
