A number of sponsorship opportunities are now available within Ulster Rugby for the 2019/20 season onwards.
On-Kit (Shorts) Sponsor:
Ulster Rugby have a rare opportunity for a sponsor to brand all playing and replica shorts. This is a unique sponsorship opportunity with Ulster Rugby as it is the only on-kit branding that will be available until the end of the 2023 season.
Based on the concept of delivering a high level of return on investment for our sponsors, we seek to establish a smaller number of ‘on-kit’ sponsorships that deliver on brand awareness, fan engagement and exclusive access to the only full time professional sports team playing in Ulster.
Ulster Rugby kit sponsors will benefit from brand awareness across the TV broadcast platforms and territories of Ireland, UK, Europe and South Africa. Ulster Rugby kit sponsors are guaranteed a minimum of 28 matches (home and away) broadcast live, delivering over 100 hours of broadcast per season.

Ulster Rugby has an exciting new partnership available, which gives a brand the opportunity to have a visible presence with the Ulster Rugby senior team on training days, match nights and away fixtures.
This presents a great opportunity to truly make your brand part of the team as they play home and away across Ireland, the UK, Europe and South Africa.
The partnership includes the following branding opportunities among other benefits:
- Brand presence at Ulster Rugby’s training base at Kingspan Stadium and associated training pitches
- Brand presence on match nights at Kingspan Stadium
- Brand presence at every away fixture

Digital Partner:
Ulster Rugby is seeking a suitable digital partner who will have the right to brand Ulster Rugby’s in-house digital video content (to include opening tiles and an advertising sting at the end of each video), as well as sponsor branded match graphics which will include team announcements, plus half-time and full-time score graphics.
This content will be shared on the Ulster Rugby website and across all official social media channels, bringing your brand closer to Ulster Rugby’s fans and followers.
