Chubb has expanded its long-standing partnership with the Australian Open, securing a broader sponsorship role that now includes official designations in life, trophy, and travel insurance.
The updated agreement builds on Chubb’s existing position as the Official Insurance Partner of the Australian Open, a role it has held since 2020.
Under the renewed terms, the insurer will now also serve as the Official Life Insurance Partner, the Official Trophy Insurance Partner, and the Official Travel Insurance Partner for the tournament.
Tennis Australia confirmed that Chubb’s branding will feature more prominently during the event, with integration into the “Close Call” replay moments during matches – adding a layer of visibility for the insurer during high-attention moments.
The expanded sponsorship aligns with Chubb’s broader strategy of engaging with high-profile sporting events across global markets.
In addition to its ongoing relationship with the Australian Open, Chubb has also served as an official insurance partner of the US Open Tennis Championships since 2020.
Craig Tiley (pictured left), chief executive of Tennis Australia, said the renewed agreement demonstrates the continuity of Chubb’s support for the tournament.
“Chubb has been a key partner of the Australian Open since 2020, and we look forward to growing our already strong relationship,” he said. “The company’s global profile, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, makes it a natural partner for the Australian Open, one of the world’s biggest sport and entertainment events.”
Chubb’s regional president for Asia-Pacific, Marcos Gunn (pictured right), stated that the partnership reinforces the insurer’s connection to a major global event with strong regional relevance.
“The Australian Open continues to innovate and raise the bar, aligning strongly with our commitment to excellence in our service to clients and partners. We look forward to our continued partnership and shared success on the world stage,” he said.
Bryce Johns, president of Chubb Life, said the life insurance component of the new arrangement reflects a strategic opportunity to deliver value to customers who follow sport closely.
“As one of the world's most popular tennis events, the Australian Open embodies the world class standards we deliver to our customers, many of whom are passionate sports enthusiasts. Together, we look forward to creating unforgettable moments for our customers and partners and celebrating the spirit of excellence,” he said.
The partnership extension comes shortly after Chubb Limited released its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, reporting net income of US$2.97 billion, or US$7.35 per share – an increase of 33.1% compared to the same period in 2024.
Core operating income rose to US$2.48 billion, representing US$6.14 per share and a 12.9% year-on-year increase.
The group’s consolidated net premiums written reached US$14.2 billion for the quarter, up 6.3%, or 7.1% in constant currency terms.
Of that, property and casualty (P&C) premiums made up US$12.39 billion, a 5.2% increase, while life insurance premiums rose to US$1.80 billion, marking a 14.1% increase.
