Landrover

Land Rover has a proud history of supporting the British & Irish Lions and is excited to be continuing their shared journey together to Hong Kong and Australia in 2013. Land Rover celebrates those who have the confidence to embrace life’s challenges and there is no better example than The British & Irish Lions, who have been doing this since 1888.

A range of Land Rover vehicles will provide essential support for the British & Irish Lions operations on Tour, with vehicles being used in the UK, Ireland, Hong Kong and Australia. Land Rover will also look to share experiences and their passion for the game with fans both in the UK and those following the tourists abroad.

Land Rover is privileged to be the Official Vehicle of Premiership Rugby, widely regarded as the most competitive league in world rugby. Land Rover continue to support Premiership Rugby clubs in a long-standing partnership that began in 2002 and enables rugby fans, Land Rover customers and staff to experience Land Rover’s brand philosophy and connect through a shared passion for the sport.

Supporting grassroots rugby is important to Land Rover; it's a demonstration of our commitment to providing support to help stimulate sustainable growth and success of top-flight rugby in the future.  Land Rover continues to make a key contribution to the ongoing development of community rugby nationwide by supplying a Land Rover Discovery to each Premiership Rugby club's community department. We're also enormously proud of our involvement with the Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup and the Premiership Rugby Academy.

Premiership Rugby Academy

The Premiership Rugby Academy is the only official camp provider to the Premiership Rugby Clubs and is now the largest provider of rugby camps in the UK.  All twelve clubs have joined together to provide young players from grass roots clubs with the opportunity to learn from professional coaches and current Premiership Rugby stars. The involvement of the players and professional coaches provides young players with a unique opportunity to find out what it takes to reach the top level of the game. 

The Premiership Rugby Academy is open to boys and girls of all abilities aged between 7 and 18 and camps range from one day courses to five day residential camps. Players such as Dylan Hartley, Schalk Brits, Andrew Sheridan, Nick Evans, Joe Simpson, Matt Banahan & Courtney Lawes and a host of other Premiership Rugby stars have all been on hand to coach and pass on tips to young players attending the camps.

There are over 200 courses countrywide throughout the year and in 2011 over 180 professional players attended camps to answer questions and pass on expert advice to the young players of the future.
