Tests won as captain
We exist to right a wrong
For too long, cricketers were asked to accept heat, poor balance, neck strain and compromised vision as normal. WaughHead exists to eliminate those compromises and set a new benchmark in helmet safety, built for the modern game.
The founder
Steve Waugh AO
Steve Waugh is the founder of WaughHead, not a silent ambassador. As Australia’s most successful Test captain, he led the side to 41 wins from 57 Tests, a world-record 16 consecutive victories, and the highest win rate of any Test captain in history. Beyond cricket, he has built a career across business, philanthropy and authorship, and is co-owner of the Amsterdam Flames in the European T20 Premier League.
He started WaughHead to apply that same uncompromising standard to head protection, bringing cricket safety into the modern era with advanced materials and engineering.
