The partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting local communities - like grassroots football, where G.J. Gardner Homes has strong connections to local families and neighbourhoods throughout New Zealand, making this partnership the perfect fit. 

G.J. Gardner also supported NRF's first region-wide Junior Football Festival earlier this year at Onehunga Sports' Waikaraka Park.

G.J. Gardner Franchise Owner Debbie Van Leeuwen said:  "We are absolutely thrilled to return as the naming rights partner for the GJ Gardner Homes Auckland Community Cup Finals Weekend and to expand our support to the Junior Festival. This ongoing partnership reflects our commitment to grassroots sport and our local communities."  

"It's great to have partners like G.J. Gardner, who understand the communities they work in, and how football helps to bring people together. Their support last year made a difference for everyone participating, and we're delighted to continue the relationship at this year's events," said Laura Menzies, NRF Chief Executive.

The G.J. Gardner Homes Auckland Community Cup Finals 2026 weekend has quickly become a standout event for community football, bringing together players, referees, supporters and clubs from across Auckland for two days of finals football and connection for men's and women's teams. The event showcases the depth and passion of the grassroots game, with teams from a wide range of divisions and age groups competing for silverware in a festival atmosphere, with the men's Federation and women's Carol Waller Cups, which include teams from Auckland and Northland, to be decided over the weekend. 

After a successful partnership in 2025, G.J. Gardner will once again have a presence across the event, including meeting the teams and supporting the medal presentations during the weekend. With thousands of participants, supporters and volunteers involved across the two days, it is a great event to be part of.
