THE IRFU HAS signed a five-year sponsorship deal with Energia, the electricity and gas supply company, to become title sponsors of both the men’s and women’s All-Ireland Leagues.
Today’s announcement is a major boost for the domestic game here after Ulster Bank ended its nine-year association with the AIL last summer, leaving both competitions without a sponsor for the 2018/19 campaign.

The partnership with Energia will also include title sponsorships of the Club International Competition, Bateman Cup and All-Ireland Junior Cup.
“We are delighted to welcome Energia on board as the title sponsors of our premier club competitions and official energy partner,” IRFU president Ian McIlrath commented.
“Energia are a dynamic company with a lot to offer to Irish Rugby and we look forward to working with them over the years to come in what is a very exciting addition to our club game.”
