Dragons Hit the Road with JAC Motors in Landmark New Partnership
St George Illawarra Dragons are proud to unveil a new major partnership with JAC Motors, marking a powerful alliance between two organisations built on toughness, performance and community.
Under the multi-year agreement, JAC Motors becomes the Dragons’ Official Car Partner, with branding to appear on the NRL and NRLW playing shorts, match-day assets, and across member and fan engagement initiatives.
JAC Motors, with 60 years of global automotive manufacturing experience, entered the Australian market with a focus on delivering feature-rich commercial and passenger vehicles backed by industry-leading warranty coverage. The brand's range includes the five-star ANCAP-rated T9 Dual-Cab 4X4 Ute, and soon the highly anticipated JAC Hunter Dual-Cab 4X4 plug-in hybrid Ute, both engineered for Australian conditions.
As JAC Motors expands its footprint in Australia with a growing range of energy-efficient and future-focused vehicles, the partnership reinforces the brand’s dedication to connecting with local communities, sporting culture, and now, the passionate Red V Army across the St George and Illawarra regions and beyond.
To celebrate the launch, JAC Motors and the Dragons are giving two members the chance to win an all expenses paid trip to Las Vegas to witness Round One of the 2026 NRL Season live at Allegiant Stadium. This exclusive opportunity sets the tone for a series of initiatives designed to elevate the member and fan experience through the partner program.
Dragons CEO Tim Watsford said the partnership arrives at a pivotal moment for the Club.
“We’re thrilled to welcome JAC Motors into the Dragons family. JAC Motors is a forward-thinking organisation whose values closely align with our strategic direction as a Club.
“Looking ahead to Vegas and our move to the Bruce Gordon Centre in early 2026, partnering with JAC Motors signals our commitment to a powerful new era of growth across all areas of the club.”
JAC Motors Managing Director Ahmed Mahmoud said the Dragons' battle-tested toughness mirrors the engineering philosophy behind every JAC vehicle.
"The Dragons represent everything we value at JAC Motors – commitment, resilience, and deep community roots. As we grow our Australian presence with vehicles engineered for real-world performance, partnering with a club that shares our fighting spirit and drive for excellence was an easy decision.
"The Red V Army's passion is legendary, and we're committed to delivering value that matches it. Starting with sending two proud club members to Vegas for Round One is just the first play in what we see as a long-term partnership built on mutual respect and shared ambition."
Memberships for the 2026 season are now available. For your chance to Win Your Way to Vegas, thanks to JAC Motors, become a 2026 Member today.
