Admiral Extends Wru Partnership

The Welsh Rugby Union has extended its main sponsorship with insurance company Admiral for a further two years, in a deal described as the biggest in the union’s history.

Admiral, who first signed with the WRU in 2010, will continue to have its logo on the front of the shirts of the senior Welsh national rugby union team until 2017, and will now also include the senior Welsh women’s team as part of the agreement.

WRU chief executive Roger Lewis said: “Since November 2010 when we first joined up together there have been some magnificent moments on the pitch including two [Six Nations] Championship wins, with one a Grand Slam.

“But they will be the first to point out that our partnership has been unique, we have produced some unforgettable moments for Admiral staff and it is a fitting reward to all the hard work both of our teams have put into the relationship that we have reached a stage where we are announcing a renewal.”
