Fiji's International Airline Air Pacific has secured the naming rights for the first ever international Ten's Rugby event to be staged in Fiji through a sponsorship deal.

The event is the brain child of the Horton Ella Group with rugby legend Mark Ella the official tournament director.

Air Pacific's Managing Director and CEO, John Campbell said they see the event as important for Fiji to stimulate travel demand during their non-peak periods and it is the establishment of world class events like the Fiji Ten's that will assist them to do this.

The Air Pacific Fiji Tens tournament to be held in Nadi from 18-25 October will include teams from Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, the US and China.
