Final whistle for Guinness and Bank of Ireland
Sunday 19 of August 2007


The country’s hottest sponsorship tickets, the GAA hurling and football championships, will drop their title sponsors from next year, bringing an end to Guinness and Bank of Ireland’s naming rights to the events.

In a radical overhaul of marketing policy, the GAA has recently informed both companies that it is proceeding with plans to split the sponsorship of its hurling and football championships among three brands for each competition. The GAA is making presentations to existing partners before it goes to the wider market.

The organisation expects income from the events to top €6.5 million a year in its new model. This compares with current income of €1.5 million to €2 million for each event.

The events will be rebranded as the GAA championships, with all brands dropped from the titles.

‘‘The packages are finalised,” said Dermot Power, commercial and marketing director of the GAA. ‘‘As we have always promised, we are talking to our existing partners first, and after that, we will go to the market in some sectors.”

Industry sources say the two brands have concerns about sharing the sponsorship with other companies, and it is not clear if Guinness and Bank of Ireland will stay on board under the new arrangements.

Each brand will be expected to spend over €1 million a year to secure the rights to co-sponsor each event.
