Qantas has announced an expanded three-year agreement with Cricket Australia (CA), strengthening its role as the official airline partner while becoming the overseas tour partner for both the men’s and women’s national cricket teams.
As part of the deal, Qantas will debut its branding on the women’s team shirts and training apparel for overseas matches from July 2025. The partnership marks a significant milestone for women’s cricket, which has seen growing participation and success in recent years.
Qantas has been the official airline partner for Cricket Australia since 2011, and this renewal further cements their longstanding relationship. The new deal also ensures the Australian cricket teams will continue to fly with Qantas, supporting the team’s domestic and international travel needs through to at least 2028.
Catriona Larritt, Qantas’ Chief Customer and Digital Officer, expressed pride in supporting the national sport and particularly women’s cricket.
“We look forward to continuing our long innings with Cricket Australia,”
she said.
Cricket Australia’s Chief Commercial Officer, Ed Sanders, welcomed the extended partnership, noting the importance of Qantas’ role in the team’s travel logistics.
“It’s fitting that this announcement coincides with the release of the 2025-26 international schedule, where Qantas will take players and fans to 11 destinations across Australia,”
he said.
This move highlights Qantas’ commitment to supporting Australian cricket on the global stage, including the upcoming ICC World Test Championship Final and tours to the West Indies later this year.
