Munster strike €2m deal with adidas

MUNSTER Rugby has agreed a three year sponsorship deal with adidas, believed to be worth approximately €650,000-a-year.

Under the terms of the agreement, which comes into effect on July 1, adidas will become the Official Kit Supplier to Munster Rugby replacing Canterbury, whose ‘CCC’ brand has been worn by the European Champions since the 1999/2000 season.

Though Munster’s long term relationship with Canterbury will end after a fruitful and money-spinning seven years, the Ireland senior rugby team will continue to sport the New Zealand brand-name until 2009.
