Eddie Jordan-led group buys London Irish out of administration

Eddie Jordan has bought the London Irish

A consortium led by former Formula One team owner and Irish businessman Eddie Jordan has bought the London Irish rugby club over a year after the Premiership team was suspended from all rugby for being unable to pay its players, the club said on Wednesday.

The financial crisis forced the club to enter administration after the June 2023 suspension. Jordan, a former racing driver and TV presenter, formed a consortium called the Jordan Associates the next year to buy the club, which was founded in 1898.
