Canterbury has unveiled the new home and alternate jerseys that will be worn by Ireland at the Rugby World Cup in France this autumn.

The jerseys are said to be "the most technologically advanced ever produced by Canterbury" and they have been officially launched alongside the kit sponsor's ‘We Go Together’ campaign, which calls on Irish fans around the world to unite in support of the Ireland team during the tournament.

The campaign looks at Rugby’s connections to Irish culture and the power of the sport in creating unity, promoting self-expression and inspiring generations of fans.

Canterbury recently announced Irish Rugby stars Mack Hansen and Maeve Óg O’Leary as brand ambassadors to "reaffirm the brand’s commitment to Irish Rugby."

“This is a huge year for the squad as we travel to France to represent the four provinces. The team have been training hard and we can’t wait to get back out onto the field in this new Canterbury jersey, with thousands of Irish fans behind us,” said Hansen.

Irish internationals Peter O’Mahony, Iain Henderson, and Ross Byrne are pictured at the launch of the new jerseys, which are on sale.

Simon Rowe, VP Global Sports Marketing, Pentland Brands, added; “Canterbury prides itself on creating cutting-edge performance jerseys and this kit is a testament to the expertise the brand has built with over a century in the game.

"What makes rugby special is its ability to bring people together from all walks of life. This new campaign looks to capture the magic that happens as teams, nations and cultures collide.”

IRFU Chief Commercial Officer Padraig Power said; “As preparations build towards France 2023, this new jersey marks the start of Ireland’s journey. We’ve enjoyed a successful partnership with Canterbury over the past decade and this year will be our most important yet, as we prepare to celebrate the coming together of thousands of Irish fans around the world.”

The jerseys, as well as a diverse and extensive range of training and supporter clothing, are available via Intersports Elverys, in-store and on Elverys.ie, and on Canterbury.com.
