Ralph Lauren is officially returning as the Official Outfitter of the Australian Open for its sixth consecutive year.

As the third Grand Slam in the brand’s global tennis portfolio (alongside Wimbledon and the US Open), the AO26 collection brings the vibrant spirit of the Australian summer to life through a new range of womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, and accessories. Rooted in the brand’s signature prep-meets-performance aesthetic, the capsule offers fresh takes on iconic polo shirts, bold logo tees, relaxed outerwear, and tennis-inspired staples made for on-court movement or off-duty dressing.

Accessories include the brand’s commemorative AO towels, returning for 2026 in a newly designed series available from October 2025, alongside a curated lineup of sunglasses, hats, footwear, and bags.

Ralph Lauren AO26 collection

This year, sustainability and functionality once again remain front of mind. The collection incorporates recycled materials like polyester and cotton, with many pieces offering moisture-wicking properties and UV protection — ideal for surviving the January sun.

In 2026, Ralph Lauren will once again outfit up to 4,000 tournament staff, including on-court officials, ball kids, and ground crew, with uniforms designed to handle the heat — in every sense of the word. And for the second year in a row, Ralph Lauren also returns as the Official Sunglasses of the Australian Open, supplying shades to all match officials, ball kids, and crew across the tournament.

Ralph Lauren will also continue its signature Create-Your-Own (CYO) customisation program on site at the Australian Open. Fans can personalise classic styles with tennis-inspired motifs, names, or initials at the on-site pop-up or online.

Since 2005, Ralph Lauren has set the standard for tennis fashion, curating a distinct blend of classic and contemporary style across tournaments like Wimbledon, the US Open, and now the Australian Open. The AO26 Capsule Collection continues this legacy, offering a bold, recognisable vision of how tennis and fashion collide in 2026.

Where can I shop the collection?

The Ralph Lauren AO25 Capsule Collection is now available online at ralphlauren.com.au, and at Ralph Lauren and Polo Ralph Lauren stores, select retail partners like David Jones and MYER, and an exclusive pop-up at Rod Laver Arena during the tournament.
