The Cork County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association has agreed a three-year extension to its partnership with main sponsor Chill Insurance.
Financial terms of the new deal were not disclosed, but the board said it is a seven-figure sum and reports indicate that it is the second biggest agreement in the GAA behind AIG’s partnership with Dublin.
Chill Insurance, Ireland’s largest independent broker, holds offices in Cork City and will back Cork’s senior and Under-21 football and hurling teams.
Gerard Lane, Cork County Board chairman, said: “The association with Cork GAA is a high-profile sporting opportunity, and we have an obligation to find partners that share our ethos and are committed to our teams, clubs and supporters. Chill Insurance is a strong Irish business, with the same determination to succeed as our players, so it is a good day for Cork GAA all round.”
