Speaking about the announcement of the series, Allianz Chief Customer Officer Geoff Sparling said: “At Allianz we are delighted to be supporting the GAA as it showcases the proposed new rule changes for Gaelic football as devised by the Football Review Committee.
“From grassroots to inter-county, through our 30 plus years of partnership with the GAA alongside Cumann na mBunscol, and most recently the Camogie Association, Gaelic games are part of our DNA in Allianz.
“For that reason, we are so proud to be supporting the GAA as title sponsor of the two-day series and look forward to the excitement to come as the four Provinces go head-to-head across the two days”.
