Sponsorship
Rugby Overview
Power, agility and an indomitable spirit – qualities that sum up both Land Rover and great competitive rugby. We're sponsors at all levels of the game, from the new under-11 & under-12 national tournament the 'Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup', through to Premiership Rugby, and right up to international rugby. In fact, we were proud partners of the British & Irish Lions throughout their 2001, 2005 and 2009 tours. And, with our 'Go Beyond' attitude, it's little wonder we're the Official Vehicle of England Rugby and Premiership Rugby.
Official Vehicle of England Rugby
Official Vehicle of England Rugby
Land Rover is proud to have partnered England Rugby since 2002. In that time, the national team has enjoyed enormous success becoming World Champions at the Rugby World Cup in Australia in 2003 and reaching the final again four years later in France. We feel our partnership is the perfect fit, as both England Rugby and Land Rover enjoy the same kind of passionate support and rich history, which allows us to build towards future success.
On England match days, a popular feature at Twickenham is the giant Land Rover screen showing live rugby coverage and highlights to the 82,000 spectators who share our love of the game.
Premiership Rugby
Premiership Rugby
Land Rover is privileged to be associated with Premiership Rugby, widely regarded as the most competitive league in world rugby. As the Official Vehicle of Premiership Rugby since 2002, Land Rover has provided each of the twelve clubs with a brand new Discovery 4 to assist and support rugby in the local community.
Grassroots Rugby
Grassroots Rugby
Grassroots rugby is hugely important to Land Rover. It's another 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 Discovery 4 to each Premiership club's community department. We're also enormously proud of our involvement with the Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup and the Premiership Rugby Academy.
Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup
With over 7000 children, 384 clubs, 45 premiership players, 24 trophies, 12 festivals, 5 months and 2 age groups, it can only be one tournament – the Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup.
The Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup is the first tournament of its kind to be officiated by Premiership Rugby and run in conjunction with all 12 Premiership Clubs across the country. It's a significant initiative, which provides a unique opportunity for young players to channel their enthusiasm for the sport and to play in a national tournament.
The tournament is open to under -11 and under -12 rugby teams and each Premiership club plays host to a rugby festival. The age group winners from each of the 12 regional festivals are crowned regional Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup champions. Professional players from the Aviva Premiership clubs attend the regional festivals, presenting trophies and signing autographs.
The winners and runners up from the 2009/10 Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup celebrated their success by taking part in a 'Parade of Champions' during half time in the Guinness Premiership Final in front of 82,000 fans.
Premiership Rugby Academy
The Premiership Rugby Academy is the only official camp provider to the Premiership Clubs. All twelve clubs have joined together to provide participants with the opportunity to learn from top coaches and current Premiership stars, giving them the chance to delve deeper into what it takes to reach the top level of the game. The Academy is open to boys and girls of all abilities aged between 7 and 18. From one day courses to five day residential camps, there are over 150 courses countrywide. Previously, World Cup winners and British & Irish Lions legends Jason Robinson, Lawrence Dallaglio and Jonny Wilkinson, not to mention Charlie Hodgson, Mike Tindall, Pat Sanderson, Steve Borthwick, Tom Rees and a host of other Premiership Stars have all been on hand to help deliver a master class.
With over 30,000 participants since the Academy's inception in 2005, the club community Discovery 4s play a crucial role in the successful running of the busy timetable.
