Rugby Athletic Partners with Euro Rugby Tours

MINNETONKA, Minn.  – Rugby Athletic has announced that it will be the official kit partner of Euro Rugby Tours, an Ireland-based travel company specializing in providing first-rate rugby team tours to Europe and the Southern Hemisphere.

Euro Rugby Tours is the brainchild of its two directors, Trevor Brennan and Mark Pinsent. Brennan is a former Irish international who also enjoyed huge success playing for Leinster in Ireland and then Stade Toulouse in France.

A few years ago, Brennan and Pinsent set up Trevor Brennan Rugby Tours, which concentrates on team tours from Ireland plus supporters tours to the Six Nations, Rugby World Cups and the British and Irish Lions tours. They took nearly 200 guests to Australia for the Lions Tour in 2013 and 150 guests to the RWC 2011 in New Zealand.

Euro Rugby Tours was then created to provide a worldwide rugby tour service with a particular focus on teams from America and Canada. Former Irish women’s captain and Grand Slam winner, Joy Neville, also came on board and now heads up their women’s tour division, thus completing a comprehensive tour service for all teams.

As the official kit partner, Rugby Athletic will supply every team that books with Euro Rugby Tours a special code for discounted tour kit.

“We will be providing the teams with our custom-designed, RA-brand jerseys and will assist the team administrators as they work directly with us for their apparel needs,” Rugby Athletic’s Chris Babiash said. “This is such a great partnership and we couldn’t be happier to have our name linked with a company that operates under the same core values.”

Mark Pinsent, Managing Director of Euro Rugby Tours, agreed, adding, “Like Rugby Athletic, we pride ourselves on our customer-focused service, dynamism and originality. Our key strategic partnership with RA demonstrates our commitment to rugby in America and we are really looking forward to providing original rugby tours at an unbeatable value for high schools, colleges and clubs.”

Rugby Athletic and Euro Rugby Tours are also both key sponsors of the 2014 USA Rugby National Development Summit, February 21-23, in Philadelphia. Those who plan to attend the summit should stop by either company’s booth for an opportunity to get FREE tour kit for your team!
