CMC Markets has been active with sports sponsorship in recent years. Earlier, the company extended its partnership with New Zealand’s professional rugby team, Blues, for another three years. The two initially signed the deal in February 2021 for two seasons, and the extension came as the original agreement ended. Before that, CMC Markets announced sponsorship of the 17-year-old motorsport racing prodigy Peter Vodanovich.
