oneills.com, leading online sportswear retailer, with the GAA have announced a new sponsorship deal that will see oneills.com become the title sponsor of the U20 GAA All-Ireland Hurling Championship. This sees the sportswear giant further increase its investment in Gaelic Games with the competition getting underway in early April.
As part of the title sponsorship package, the oneills.com logo will feature prominently at multiple games for the next four years. The sponsorship will also see O’Neills incorporate a TV sting, a first for the company in its 104-year history. The Championship coincides with the sportswear manufacturers' development of the smart sliotar, which will be on trial in the U20 Championship. This, combined with the sponsorship of the U20 Championship, further underlines their commitment to Gaelic Games, particularly Hurling.
