The sponsorship deal will kick on from this June and includes the men’s and women’s senior teams as well as Leinster Branch Referees, all age grade teams and all coaching and domestic staff.
Leinster Rugby chief executive Mick Dawson said:
"adidas is one of the most famous brands in the world, never mind in the team wear and sports marketing landscape. We are delighted to have such an iconic brand alongside us as we look to grow as a club both on the field and off. "Already we have seen some great innovations from their team for our training and match kit and we look forward to seeing the kit on the players and indeed seeing the replica kit in-store from June. "A new jersey gets everyone excited and a new jersey with a new kit supplier like adidas doubly so."Leinster Rugby is the latest addition to the adidas rugby portfolio that already includes the All Blacks and France.
The new Leinster Rugby adidas training kit will be available to pre-order from mid-June from Life Style Sports and the new home and alternate jersey will be launched in July.Explore more on these topics:
