Gallagher signs on with Premiership Women’s Rugby
The three-year deal sees Gallagher become a principal partner and official insurance partner of the league until the end of the 2027-28 season.
The partnership aims to support the growth of women’s rugby through leadership, coaching and community development opportunities.
The agreement builds on Gallagher’s existing rugby portfolio, which includes an eight-year relationship with Premiership Rugby, and partnerships with the Women’s Rugby World Cup and New Zealand Rugby. The company has previously launched initiatives such as the High Performance Academy with World Rugby and the Gallagher Touchline Academy with Premiership Rugby clubs.
Sarah Griffiths, Director of Marketing & Communications at Gallagher, said, “The growth of women’s rugby is one of the most exciting stories in sport and we are delighted to support PWR as it continues to inspire players and fans across the country. This is a partnership that reflects our belief in equality, empowerment, and teamwork – values that sit at the heart of both Gallagher and the game. Just as we help our clients face their future with confidence, we are looking forward to supporting the growth of the women’s game and building on the incredible legacy created by the Red Roses this summer.”
Genevieve Shore, Executive Chair of Premiership Women’s Rugby, said, “I am thrilled to welcome Gallagher into the PWR family at such a pivotal time for the growth of women’s rugby. Gallagher has proven over many years that it is a steadfast supporter of rugby and has played a huge part in the game’s success over recent years. I am certain that bringing that energy to PWR will give us the perfect platform to capitalise on the success of the World Cup and continue to grow the women’s game and inspire future generations to pick up a rugby ball.”
Sarah Hunter, England’s most capped player, former Loughborough Lightning and a Gallagher Ambassador, said, “It’s brilliant for women’s rugby to welcome Gallagher as a Principal Partner of PWR. The firm’s support couldn’t come at a more exciting time as the game goes from strength to strength following the success of the Red Roses this summer. Evidenced by its partnership portfolio, Gallagher truly wants to be part of the journey and shares a common passion for empowering women and girls in rugby on and off the pitch. By partnering with PWR, Gallagher can keep inspiring the next generation to dream big and believe that anything is possible.”
