SHANNON Airport have announced their continued support of the Munster Rugby team following the signing of a new three-year deal.
Shannon Airport will now continue to be Munster Rugby’s official airport partner until 2026 as the brands renewed their partnership this week.
As part of the agreement, Shannon Airport will be the official airport of Munster Rugby, providing connectivity to away games for both the team and its followers.
Ray O’Driscoll, Chief Operating Officer at The Shannon Airport Group, said: “This continued partnership between Munster Rugby and Shannon Airport is truly exciting for everyone across the Group.”
“Our teams have ambitious plans to bring the sponsorship to life over the coming seasons and we look forward to launching engaging initiatives, joint promotions, and unique Munster experiences for all Munster fans and our passengers alike,” he said.
“This partnership also provides international coverage for Shannon Airport, as we proudly get to display our brand in the home of Munster Rugby at Thomond Park and on the player’s kits.”
The sponsorship deal comes as Munster’s new season kicks off and coincides with the airport’s launch of their new service to Paris Charles de Gaulle, which will offer a gateway to the Rugby World Cup, which is currently taking place in France.
Munster Rugby Head of Commercial and Marketing, Dave Kavanagh, said: “We are delighted to continue our very successful partnership with Shannon Airport for three more years.”
“Shannon Airport has been the launch pad for our rugby adventures over many years, as well as the entry point for many Clubs and their fans visiting Munster Rugby, and we are excited to continue working with them into the future,” he concluded.
