The United States Tennis Association (USTA) has confirmed a multi-year extension of its long-standing partnership with Ralph Lauren, ensuring the American luxury brand will continue as the official outfitter of the US Open through 2032.

The renewal builds on a collaboration that began in 2005, marking nearly two decades of partnership. Under the agreement, Ralph Lauren will continue designing and supplying uniforms for all on-court officials, including chair umpires and line umpires, as well as the tournament’s ball crew. In addition, the brand will produce a commemorative apparel and accessories collection for fans, encompassing men’s, women’s, and children’s lines.

A notable addition to the partnership is the establishment of an annual fund aimed at expanding access to tennis and education programs for young people from under-resourced communities across the United States. The initiative underscores the shared commitment of both organizations to community impact and youth development through sport.

Kirsten Corio, Chief Commercial Officer, USTA, said, “We are incredibly proud to celebrate 20 years of partnership with Ralph Lauren and are excited to extend our collaboration into the next decade. As the Official Outfitter, Ralph Lauren has become synonymous with the US Open’s iconic style, ensuring our officials and ball crew are always impeccably dressed. Beyond the court, Ralph Lauren’s global reach allows US Open fans worldwide to connect with the tournament through their retail presence.”

David Lauren, Chief Branding & Innovation Officer, Ralph Lauren, added, “For nearly six decades, Ralph Lauren has been deeply inspired by the world of sport and tennis in particular – its energetic spirit, sportsmanship, and heritage of style is a part of who we are. We are thrilled to continue as the Official Outfitter of the US Open, building on our 20 year partnership that has defined the tournament’s signature style and has been a canvas for incredible innovation. As we look ahead, we’re not just celebrating our heritage in tennis, we’re investing in the future of the game and the next generation of champions who will call this court home.”

Since first partnering in 2005, Ralph Lauren has outfitted more than 200 on-court officials and 400 ball crew members each year, bringing its signature design aesthetic to Flushing Meadows. Its tournament collections have also become a popular retail feature, reflecting the growing intersection of sport and fashion.

The extension through 2032 reinforces the long-term commitment of both parties, solidifying one of the most enduring and visually recognizable collaborations in global sport.

The 2025 US Open, which marked the 20th year of Ralph Lauren’s association with the tournament, saw Carlos Alcaraz claim the men’s singles title and Aryna Sabalenka win the women’s singles crown.
