Irish energy firm Energia is to renew its partnership with the IRFU for a further five years until 2029.
Energia has been an official partner of Irish Rugby since 2019, serving as a title sponsor of the Men’s and Women’s All-Ireland League competitions, and spearheading a number of initiatives aimed at growing the sport across Ireland.
As part of the continued partnership, Energia will work alongside the IRFU on a number of grassroots and community-driven projects, including the Community Hero Award. It celebrates the contributions of figures at Club level who help make the grassroots game possible and will be presented to recipients ahead of Ireland’s Guinness Six Nations home fixtures next year.
Following a successful pilot in the 23/24 season, Energia has also pledged support to the IRFU to expand the coverage of Energia AIL games, allowing delivery of high-quality club rugby to a wider audience. In addition, Energia Rugby for All, an initiative launched with Leinster Rugby last year to make rugby more inclusive for people with physical and learning differences, will be extended nationwide, starting with supporting the IRFU as it recently joined the Hidden Disability Sunflower Lanyard Scheme.
Gary Ryan, Managing Director at Energia, said: "We are thrilled to renew our partnership with the IRFU for another 5 years. At Energia, we have seen, and continue to see, the endless possibilities that Irish rugby offers, for both women and men, from grassroots to elite. We are very proud of the innovations we’ve brought to the Energia AIL over the past 5 years and look forward to working with the IRFU on a slate of brand new grassroots projects and community initiatives aimed at securing the future of Irish rugby."
