Quest strengthens its commitment to the Sharks, becoming the front-of-jersey major partner of both the NRL and NRLW teams from 2027.
The Cronulla Sharks and Quest Apartment Hotels are taking their partnership to the next level, announcing a major three-year extension that will see one of Australasia's leading apartment hotel brands proudly featured front and centre on the jerseys of both the Sharks' NRL and NRLW teams.
Building on a successful partnership that began in 2024, the expanded agreement marks a significant milestone for both organisations, united by a shared commitment to community, connection and creating moments that matter.
Having proudly supported the Sharks' NRLW team as front-of-jersey major partner since 2024, Quest is now extending that commitment to the men's team, becoming the club's Premier Major Partner and front-of-jersey sponsor from the 2027 season.
The announcement reflects the strength of the relationship between two nationally recognised lifestyle brands, organisations that believe success is built not only on performance, but on the positive impact they can make in the communities they serve.
Sharks CEO Dino Mezzatesta welcomed the expanded partnership.
“Since coming on board in 2024 Quest Apartment Hotels have supported our membership program and NRLW team and we are thrilled they are now extending and increasing that support in becoming the major NRL jersey partner, while continuing with our NRLW team,” Sharks CEO Dino Mezzatesta said.
“It's also exciting that we can take our brand, and our members and fans, on a journey with Quest given they have over 170 hotels across 60 metropolitan, regional and suburban locations throughout Australia, NZ and Fiji.
"Quest is an accommodation powerhouse, a leader in serviced apartments and an organisation striving for excellence, but as we do at the Sharks and as they displayed with their backing of our membership program, they operate with community at the forefront of their plans and share our values.
“We look forward to the next three years and to our men's and women’s teams creating numerous highlights while proudly wearing the Quest logo,” he added.
For Quest Apartment Hotels, the expanded partnership is a natural extension of a lifestyle brand that has been connecting people and communities for almost 40 years.
With more than 170 locations across Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, Quest's network of locally owned franchise businesses shares the Sharks' belief in the power of community, teamwork and making a positive difference.
David Mansfield, Managing Director of The Ascott Limited, Australasia, said the expanded partnership represented an exciting new chapter for two organisations with a shared ambition to make a meaningful impact.
“There's something special about the way sport brings people together, and few clubs embody that spirit quite like the Cronulla Sharks,” Mr Mansfield said.
“At Quest, we've spent almost 40 years building a business around people and communities. Our locally owned hotels are part of the neighbourhoods they serve, and we believe in going further to create the moments that matter, whether that's helping families reconnect, supporting people travelling for work or backing the communities that support us.
“We're particularly proud to build on our support of the Sharks' women's team and now stand alongside both the men's and women's teams as a major partner. It's a powerful reflection of our shared commitment to opportunity, teamwork and community.
“This is about much more than a logo on a jersey. It's about two organisations coming together to make a positive difference, celebrate great moments and create even stronger connections with communities across Australia.”
Bringing Sharks fans closer to the action
The partnership also creates opportunities to connect Sharks members and fans with Quest's extensive apartment hotel network, whether travelling to support their team, planning a family holiday or exploring more of Australia.
Located adjacent to Ocean Protect Stadium and the new Sharks Leagues Club, Quest Woolooware Bay puts travelling fans right in the heart of Sharks territory, while nearby Quest Cronulla offers another convenient base for a coastal getaway.
And with more than 170 locations across Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, Quest makes it easy for fans to follow the action, wherever their travels take them.
Sharks’ members can also enjoy 20% off eligible stays at participating Quest properties across Australia, adding even more value to the partnership.
Whether it's a home game, an away game or the next family adventure, Quest and the Sharks are helping fans go further to create the moments that matter.
