Aon has been the proud Major Partner of Rowing New Zealand for over 18 years. We are passionate supporters of young New Zealanders, and we strive to help them achieve their potential in the sport of their choosing.

Our relationship with Rowing New Zealand encourages the next generation of talent for future New Zealand representatives and helps foster the growth of young New Zealanders into great people.

Aon Maadi Regatta
One key focus of our relationship with Rowing New Zealand is the annual Aon Maadi Regatta, the largest school sports event in the country. This event alternates each year between Lake Karapiro and Lake Ruataniwha and is attended by over 120 schools across New Zealand.

Aon Emerging School Scholarship
The Aon Emerging School Scholarship aims to make rowing accessible to all schools, regardless of resource and funding. The scholarship helps a school that has a rowing program in its infancy and supports the development of rowing programmes.

Aon Laszlo Legacy
As an extension of Aon’s support for the rowing community, we partnered with Laszlo Boats to provide two brand-new, world-class Laszlo Single Skiff boats to the female and male winners of the Under 17 Single Scull.

Congratulations to the 2023 winners Jameson McConnochie from Tauranga Boys College and Tegan O’Dwyer from Cambridge High School. 

We chose the U17 races because any school in New Zealand could win it. The Aon Laszlo Legacy has now seen 7 different schools take home a brand-new skiff.
