Connacht signs up Elverys Intersport

Sporting goods retailer Elverys Intersport has agreed a deal to become the new title sponsor and official retail partner of Irish Pro12 rugby union club Connacht.

The two parties have agreed a three-year deal, which will cover the 2016-17 to 2018-19 seasons. Under the agreement, Elverys Intersport’s branding will feature on Connacht’s playing jerseys.

Connacht won its first-ever Pro12 title during the 2015-16 season after defeating Leinster in the Grand Final in May.
