IRFU offers grant aid to lure fans into Aviva

The IRFU is to provide clubs with up to €400 in grant aid to encourage them travel to the Aviva Stadium for the World Cup warm-ups with Scotland and Wales in August.

The offer, open to groups of adults as well as groups of adults and kids, is available by informing the IRFU of an intention to travel to either or both of the Guinness Summer Series matches in a group of 45 or more.

IRFU Commercial and Marketing Director, Padraig Power said: “Last season a host of clubs took up this offer for the Guinness Series clash against Georgia which saw over 40,000 supporters take their seats at the Aviva Stadium for Ireland’s 49-7 victory.
