Energia announced as All-Ireland League Sponsor

Today the IRFU has confirmed that it has signed a deal with the electricity and gas supply company Energia, to become the title sponsors of both the Men’s and Women’s All-Ireland Leagues.

The announcement comes as a major boost to the League after Ulster Bank ended its nine-year association with the AIL last Summer, which left both competitions without one for the 2018/19 season.

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with the IRFU as official energy partner of Irish Rugby and title sponsor of the All-Ireland League,” the company’s managing director, Gary Ryan, added.

“It is a very exciting time to be involved with Irish Rugby as they prepare to take on the world in Japan this autumn and we’re delighted to sponsor Irish Rugby from grassroots to the national team. We have an exciting journey ahead of us and we look forward to working closely with Irish Rugby to deliver future success.”
