The Sportsground in Galway is set to be the next stadium to sell its naming rights with an American multinational making a deal with Connacht Rugby.

It is believed that US company Dexcom, which is set to open its first European manufacturing plant in Athenry, approached Galway GAA with a view to securing the naming rights for the county grounds at Pearse Stadium in Salthill but this did not progress when it was made clear that Galway GAA had a strong preference to maintain ‘Pearse’ in the name.
