Preparations begin for Paris 2010

LEINSTER may be basking in the glory of being crowned Heineken Cup champions for 2009, but they won’t have to wait long before finding out who they will face when they begin their defence next season.

Tournament organisers ERC will today officially launch their ticket sales campaign for the 2010 Heineken Cup final in Paris’ magnificent Stade de France on Saturday, May 22.

Last weekend’s Edinburgh final was the fastest selling final in the tournament’s history and the 66,523 gate was the sixth highest in 14 years.
