One of Irish Citylink’s longest-running sponsorship relationships is set to continue as they take their partnership to a new level with their newly branded Connacht Rugby Team Coach.
 
Irish Citylink began sponsoring Connacht Rugby in 2017, and Connacht Rugby and Irish Citylink have agreed on a further two-year deal that means Irish Citylink is the Official Coach Supplier for the Senior Men and Women’s Teams for the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 seasons.

The newly branded Connacht Rugby Team Coach was created in celebration of this partnership and to showcase the alignment of two strong brands that are proud to be from the province of Connacht. The design incorporates elements of both the Connacht Rugby and Irish Citylink brands, using the proud colours of Connacht Rugby along with the distinctive paint strokes design on the Citylink coaches.
 
Philip Patterson, Head of Commercial and Marketing at Connacht Rugby says: “Irish CityLink have been a proud partner of ours for many years so we’re extremely pleased to be continuing our relationship.
