History
Rugby union ball by Webb Ellis

The company was founded in January 2003 by Rod Webb and Lawrence Webb, as a manufacturer of products for the practise of rugby union that included sportswear, boots and balls.[1]

The first important contract for Webb Ellis came in 2003, when the company signed a deal with European Professional Club Rugby to supply official balls for the European Champions Cup (then "Heineken Cup"). Three years later, the Welsh Rugby Union chose the Webb Ellis balls for its national team home internationals. During the following years, Webb Ellis expanded its business area adding distributors in Ireland, France, USA, Canada, Argentina, Uruguay, Italy, Spain, South Africa, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.[1]
