RLI sign deal with AZZURRI Sport

Rugby League Ireland have today announced a three year kit deal with Azzurri Sport. The deal will see Azzurri Sport as the official kit sponsor and technical partner of Rugby League Ireland and will see the Waterford based company manufacturing the kits for all Rugby League Ireland representative teams. The Azzurri jerseys were worn in the recent rugbyleague.com European Cup where they received great praise for their unique and contemporary design.

Rugby League Ireland General Manager, Callum Irving said "We are really excited about our relationship with Azzurri, the feedback from both players and supporters after the European Cup was hugely positive. The contemporary designs represent the vibrancy, excitement and growing momentum that is currently circulating around Rugby League Ireland and this has been reflected in Christmas sales where the jersey sold out!"

He added "It is also superb to be working in partnership with an Irish company who have a commitment to manufacturing at home"

Jamie Osbourne, Business Development Manager at Azzurri commented "Azzurri Sport is proud to be associated with Rugby League Ireland as an official kit sponsor and we are looking forward to developing this relationship to help promote and grow the sport throughout Ireland. This sponsorship presents us with a unique opportunity to showcase our new high performance rugby range on a national & international stage."

Rugby League Ireland jerseys are available priced at €55 from Heatons stores across Ireland as well as direct from azzurri at www.azzurri.ie.
