The GAA and Camogie Association have announced a new three-year deal with Allianz Insurance. The Insurance giants have come on board as sponsors of the GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Championship as well as an official sponsor of the Camogie Association and official sponsor of the GAA Museum at Croke Park
Allianz have been sponsors of the GAA National Hurling and Football leagues now for the past 31 years. With the new system brought in by the GAA last year which s now has a direct impact on qualification for the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, Allianz have never been so intrinsically linked to the Sam Maguire or Tailteann Cup. This will also coincide with their current sponsorship of Allianz Cumann na mBunscol.
The Insurance company is also delighted to expand their sponsorship portfolio in the women’s associations also, which includes the Camogie All-Ireland Post-Primary School Championships and Camán to Croker. This is the second major investment into Camogie with the news early last week that Electric Ireland would become the main sponsor of the CCAO third level Colleges finals and also the Minor Camogie championships also.
“It is a great pleasure to welcome Allianz Insurance as sponsor of the GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Championship”, said Uachtarán CLG, Larry McCarthy on this week’s news.
“Over the past 30-plus years, we have built a wonderful partnership with Allianz through their sponsorship of the Allianz Leagues and we look forward to developing this relationship as they take on this new sponsorship.”
Uachtarán an Cumann Camógaíochta, Hilda Breslin, said: “It is a great pleasure to welcome Allianz Insurance as sponsor of our All-Ireland Post Primary School Championships and our highly anticipated Camán to Croker, which sees 64 clubs bring their U12 teams to play in Croke Park in August. We look forward to working with Allianz and bringing their extensive experience to our game”.
Speaking at Tuesday’s sponsorship launch, CEO of Allianz Insurance, Sean McGrath, said:
“Allianz’s brand purpose has always been to secure our customers’ futures and give them the confidence to write their own story. With our sponsorship of the GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Championship alongside the Allianz Leagues, we will continue to work alongside the GAA as we have done over the past 31 years in supporting communities across the country and the passions of our customers. We are delighted to celebrate our long-standing commitment to Gaelic Games and look forward to our future together”
