The All Blacks are to get a new sponsor, with Telecom preparing to announce a deal within days.
A Telecom spokesperson says the sponsorship would begin during the current season and continue through the Rugby World Cup in 2011.
Telecom recently launched its new XT Mobile network and says it will provide the All Blacks players with phones and devices.
There has been no comment yet from the New Zealand Rugby Union or from long-standing All Black and Super 14 sponsor Ford. In 2008, Ford extended its 15-year backing until the end of this year.
Adidas' sponsorship of the All Blacks ends in 2019.
