The Hurricanes and New Zealand Rugby (NZR) and have today announced Clark Laidlaw will become the Hurricanes Head Coach in 2024.

The 45-year-old will take up his new role at the conclusion of the 2023 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season following the departure of current Head Coach, Jason Holland, who will link up with the All Blacks as an Assistant Coach to Scott Robertson after the Rugby World Cup

Laidlaw says he is excited to be returning to the Hurricanes, having been Assistant Coach to former Hurricanes Head Coaches Mark Hammett and Chris Boyd between 2013 and 2015, but also proud of his time with the All Blacks Sevens.

He also says he is proud of all they have achieved with the All Blacks Sevens as they have seen a lot of success but also had their fair share of challenges.

Laidlaw further says it felt like the right time to take on a new challenge as Head Coach of the Hurricanes, while building on what is already a really strong team.

In 2018, a year after becoming All Blacks Sevens Head Coach, Laidlaw guided New Zealand to gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and won the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens.

Since, Laidlaw has led his team to HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series titles in 2020 and 2023 and won a silver medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
