Italy rugby cap Azzurro 2026/27 Macron official

Technical specifications

Care instructions

Hand wash only, cold water. Never wring or squeeze. Dry flat in open air, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Do not iron over embroidery. Store flat or hanging to maintain visor shape.

Design

Brushed cotton offers a soft texture and good breathability, essential for prolonged wear in the stands or outdoors. The rigid preformed visor maintains its curve even after repeated washing, ensuring effective sun protection without sagging. The rear scratch strap allows precise head circumference adjustment, more accurate than a simple plastic buckle. The interior sweatband absorbs moisture and limits visible marks on the outer fabric. FIR and tricolour embroidery is made with thick high-density thread to withstand friction and hand washing.

Italian team

The Italian national men's rugby team has competed in the Six Nations tournament since 2000. The Azzurri play their home matches at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The women's team, also kitted by Macron, competes in the Women's Six Nations and has shown steady progress since the early 2020s. The 2026/27 collection marks a visual turning point with the integration of Futurism language — an Italian artistic movement celebrating energy, speed and dynamism — into the graphics of all official products.

Brand

Macron has equipped the Italian Rugby Federation (FIR) for several seasons. The Bologna-based brand specializes in designing technical kits for national teams and professional clubs, with particular attention to identity details: high-density embroidery, tailored patterns, incorporation of local cultural codes into graphics. For the Italy 2026/27 collection, Macron translated Futurism principles into broken lines, geometric shapes and dynamic trajectories, present on both jerseys and lifestyle accessories such as this cap.
