Boost as Munster to post €310,000 surplus

Munster are set to post a surplus of €310,000 this season, a considerable turnaround from the €1.93m deficit in 2015/16.

The projected cashflow surplus is driven by a €2.05m increase in gate income and an additional €1.5m IRFU grant.

Last season, Munster sold out nine matches, a new record for the province and more than the previous three years combined. Six of those were at Thomond Park, including a Champions Cup quarter-final and the game against the Maori All Blacks, which account for the majority of the financial increase.
