Land Rover has become an Official Global Sponsor of The British & Irish Lions Tour to Australia 2013, one with increased significance as The Lions will celebrate a 125 year heritage. This continues the relationship, which began in 1997, 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 operations on Tour, with vehicles being used in the UK, Ireland, Hong Kong and Australia.

John Edwards, Global Brand Director for Land Rover commented, 'We are thrilled to be announcing this new partnership today and proud to be a part of The British & Irish Lions family again, who have been touring since 1888.

"We have a great heritage with The Lions, supporting them since 1997 and Land Rover's brand positioning is based on the characteristic of Inner Strength, both physical and mental, so the synergy with the Lions is obvious for all to see.

"With the main Tour taking place in Australia, and the first ever match in Hong Kong, it truly reflects the global nature of our business and offers us the opportunity to showcase our vehicles. We look forward to working with this fantastic organisation and providing unique opportunities to rugby fans."

Charlie McEwen, Director of Sales and Marketing, British & Irish Lions said: "Land Rover has a rich history and heritage of supporting premium rugby events and teams and we are delighted to be a corner stone of their sponsorship programme. Land Rover will act as a vital support to the team in the UK and Ireland and when on Tour in Hong Kong and Australia. The new Lions and Land Rover partnership see us working together for a fifth Tour, a relationship spanning nearly twenty years, and we are confident we can build on the success of previous partnerships to ensure that the 2013 Tour is the best ever."
