Leinster Rugby signs Adidas kit deal

Irish Pro14 rugby union club Leinster has unveiled German sportswear manufacturer Adidas as its new kit supplier.

The five-year deal begins next month with Leinster’s 2018-19 pre-season training kit. Adidas will provide match-day, training and leisure wear as part of the deal.

The deal covers Leinster’s men’s and women’s senior teams, as well as Leinster Branch Referees, all age-grade teams and all coaching and domestic staff working with the 76,000 players across Leinster’s 12 counties.

Adidas will replace Canterbury as Leinster’s kit supplier. Adidas’ portfolio of rugby partnerships also includes deals with the New Zealand and France national teams, along with Leinster's fellow Irish Pro14 outfit, Munster.
