O’Neills sign five-year deal to supply London Irish

Irish sportswear giant O’Neills has inked a five-year partnership with Premiership rugby club London Irish.

O’Neills will produce all playing and replica kit for the club at senior and academy levels.

The company, with manufacturing plants in Dublin and Strabane, will manage a new London Irish online store and develop an international third party retailer network globally.

The new range will see the club revert to their traditional London Irish green.

The move to O’Neills reflects the strategy of the consortium of London-based Irish businessmen, led by Mick Crossan and Phil Cusack, which took control of London Irish in December 2013.
