Cork GAA has announced McCarthy Insurance Group as its first-ever sleeve sponsor on all official jerseys.

The move will see McCarthy Insurance Group - the current Cork County Football Leagues and Championship sponsor - further enhance the partnership to include the Cork intercounty teams.

“Cork GAA has community at the heart of everything we do, so we were thrilled last year to partner with McCarthy Insurance Group, a company that has been a long-standing community supporter in Cork," Cork chairperson, Pat Horgan said. "The success of the partnership has resulted in a further agreement and this year it’s extended to include our first-ever sleeve sponsor.

"The company’s logo will be clearly displayed on the sleeves of the 2025 senior, U20 and minor football and hurling home and away jerseys, which will be launched later this month.”

CEO of McCarthy Insurance Group, Brendan Harrington added: “The Cork GAA partnership was the perfect fit for McCarthy Insurance Group as the organisation plays a crucial role in so many communities around Cork.

"We built our business on serving local communities and are delighted to continue and enhance our support of Cork GAA. We are really looking forward to seeing our logo on the sleeves for the upcoming season.”

MIG was founded in Fermoy in 1952 and has 16 branches throughout Ireland with nine branches in Cork County.

The announcement was made at this month’s Cork GAA county board meeting, which was held at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Tuesday evening.
