Cricket Victoria has announced a new partnership with ISLA Vodka, a gold medal-winning, all-Victorian vodka brand, to elevate the match-day experience at the CitiPower Centre and across the 2025/26 summer of cricket.
As the exclusive vodka partner of Victoria's State Cricket teams, ISLA's all-natural vodka and ready-to-drink range will be poured at all men's and women's matches hosted at the CitiPower Centre throughout the season, including Sheffield Shield, One Day Cup (Dean Jones Trophy) and WNCL fixtures.
The partnership extends beyond State cricket, with ISLA also aligning with the Melbourne Renegades for a co-branded New Year's Day event at Marvel Stadium, designed to deliver an enhanced fan experience at one of the marquee fixtures of the Big Bash summer.
Proudly distilled and owned in Victoria, ISLA has quickly become a feature of major Australian sporting and cultural events. Since launching in 2024, the brand has been the vodka of choice at the Australian Open Tennis, Australian Open Golf and a growing number of premium venues, including the MCG, as well as leading festivals and hospitality partners across the country.
Crafted with low calories, low sugar and no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners, ISLA's range is designed for modern, more mindful drinkers who want premium flavour without compromise.
Cricket Victoria's General Manager of Consumer Business, Dylan Prescott, said:
"ISLA is a Victorian success story and a great fit for what we're building at the CitiPower Centre and across the broader summer of cricket. They share our ambition to create memorable experiences for fans, and their presence across a range of major events shows they know how to deliver in high-performance environments.
"We're excited to bring a quality, locally made product into our venues and to work with ISLA on new ways of engaging supporters throughout the 2025/26 season."
ISLA Vodka co-founder Doug James said:
"Cricket is part of the fabric of summer in Victoria, so partnering with Cricket Victoria feels like a natural step for ISLA. As an all-Victorian brand, being poured at the CitiPower Centre and aligned with the Boxing Day test and Renegades' New Year's Day clash is something we're incredibly proud of.
"Our goal is to offer a premium, better-for-you option for fans – whether they're watching a State game at Junction Oval or a Big Bash blockbuster - and to support Cricket Victoria in making a day at the cricket even more enjoyable."
