Land Rover joins British & Irish Lions pride

Land Rover is to become an Official Global Sponsor of The British & Irish Lions Tour to Australia 2013, when The Lions celebrate a 125 year heritage. This continues the relationship between one of rugby's most iconic institutions and one of the world's most popular SUV brands.

As part of the sponsorship, a range of Land Rover vehicles will provide essential support for The British & Irish Lions operation on Tour, with vehicles being used in the UK, Ireland, Hong Kong and Australia. These vehicles will provide the logistical flexibility needed to meet the challenges presented by an elite touring rugby team. Land Rover will also look to enhance the fans' experience for those touring with The Lions and for those at home.

Land Rover has supported The British & Irish Lions since 1997 and has toured with them to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The company's relationship with rugby also includes Rugby World Cup 2015 in England.
