Kookaburra is an Australian sports equipment brand from Melbourne, founded in 1890 by Alfred Grace Thompson and still family-owned today. The company started with cricket balls, used in international matches for decades, and over time built a full range for field hockey.
In hockey, Kookaburra is best known for its balls: the Dimple model is the standard for matches around the world, from junior training to international tournaments. The range also includes carbon-fibre sticks for players at every level, protective gear, gloves and clothing. The brand’s European range is run by Kookaburra Sport in the United Kingdom.
