Shipping to Australia from Players Sports
If you’ve landed on Players Sports from Australia, there’s a good chance you’ve already spotted something that caught your eye - maybe a piece of rugby supporters’ gear you can’t find locally, a cricket bat or racket you’ve been comparing, or footwear that suddenly looks very well priced once you do the currency conversion.
Good news. Players Sports ships to Australia.
This page outlines how shipping works, what you can order, and why more Australians are choosing to shop with us.
Who is Players Sports
Players Sports is New Zealand’s specialist sports retailer for performance gear across cricket, rugby, rugby league, football, tennis, running, netball, basketball, hockey and more.
If you’re used to shopping in Australia at single-sport specialty stores - a cricket shop here, a tennis shop there, a football store somewhere else - think of Players Sports as all of those, combined, under one roof and one website.
We focus on premium, performance-driven sports gear. No fast fashion. No trend chasing. Just equipment, footwear and supporters’ gear built for training, match day and serious sport.
Our team works hands-on in the industry every day, and our stores and website are designed around helping athletes, parents and fans make confident buying decisions.
Why Australians shop with Players Sports
We’ve always had Australians finding our site organically - through search, social, or word of mouth - especially when looking for specific gear.
Common reasons Australian customers choose to shop with us include:
-
Better value once converted to AUD, especially on premium products
-
Access to New Zealand-specific gear and ranges
-
Hard-to-find sizes, models or supporter items
Many customers check the NZD to AUD exchange rate on the day and find they’re getting strong value buying from New Zealand.
What Australians commonly buy from us
While we stock thousands of products across dozens of sports, these are some categories Australian customers are most drawn to:
Super Rugby and All Blacks supporters’ gear
New Zealand rugby supporters’ gear is a major drawcard. That includes Super Rugby jerseys and training wear, All Blacks fan gear, and official apparel that isn’t always readily available through Australian retailers.
One NZ Warriors NRL supporters’ gear
The Warriors’ following in Australia continues to grow, and we carry a deep range of official supporters’ gear that Australian fans often struggle to find locally.
Cricket bats and equipment
Players Sports started as a cricket specialist, and it remains one of our strongest categories. Australian players often come to us for specific bat profiles, brands, or models that aren’t widely ranged in certain regions.
Tennis rackets and performance racket sports gear
We stock a broad range of tennis rackets and accessories alongside professional-grade stringing services. Many Australian players find strong value or better availability through us.
Running shoes
From everyday trainers to performance and race-day shoes, we carry a curated running range that appeals to serious runners looking for the right shoe, not just what’s on promotion.
Football and Rugby boots
Boot silos, colourways and limited runs often differ between markets. Australians regularly shop our boot range when chasing a specific model or fit.
And beyond that, there are dozens of other categories covering grassroots sport, club level, school sport and fans.
