NiuPower extends support for CRUW Comp

NiuPower Limited has announced that it would continue its support as the Naming Rights Sponsor of the 2026 Capital Rugby Union Women’s (CRUW) Competition for the third straight year. 

The independent power producer or electricity supplier started supporting the women's rugby union competition in 2024, continued the platinum sponsorship in 2025, and expanded its backing in 2026.

The company released a statement on its Facebook page, announcing: “For the third year running, NiuPower is proud to support the Capital Rugby Union Women’s competition in Port Moresby. 

“As Gold Sponsor of the Capital Rugby Union Women’s competition, NiuPower is helping lift the Open and U20 Grades, creating pathways for female athletes to grow, compete, and lead through rugby.”

The statement added that the sponsorship is more than supporting the women’s rugby competition - it encompasses active lifestyle, values, inclusion, sportsmanship, and personal growth on and off the field. 

“This partnership reflects NiuPower’s commitment to inclusion, women’s empowerment, community health, and social participation — while celebrating the values that make rugby strong: Integrity, Passion, Solidarity, Discipline, and Respect,” it said.

“Guided by Papua New Guinea’s national goals of Integral Human Development, Equality, and Participation, this partnership is about more than rugby — it is about creating opportunity, confidence, and visibility for women and girls in sport.”

NiuPower acknowledged its shareholders, Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited and Santos Limited, for their partnership in supporting and building a strong rugby legacy not only in the nation’s capital but across the country. 

Together with the Pepsi Capital Rugby Union (CRU), NiuPower is proud to support the next generation of women rugby union players and help build a more inclusive sporting future for Papua New Guinea.

As part of NiuPower’s corporate social responsibility, the company has supported various sports in Port Moresby and throughout PNG, including rugby union, netball, and rugby league, among others.
