European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) have today announced a new title sponsor for their marquee Champions Cup tournament. 

International bank and wealth manager Investec will sponsor the tournament for the next five seasons in what is a hugely exciting development for the organisers and the sport as a whole. 

Comprising of the top eight teams from three leagues – the Top 14, United Rugby Championship and English Premiership. The tournament is the most international club rugby competition, with teams from Ireland, Wales, England, Scotland, France, Italy and South Africa competing. 

Speaking at the unveiling of the new sponsorship, EPCR Chairman Dominic McKay said: 

“Following a record-breaking season for EPCR with over 1.3 million fans returning to stadiums and getting behind their clubs across the seven countries, in addition to further millions tuning in to our broadcasters worldwide, it’s a brilliant time to welcome Investec into our growing partner family with such positivity surrounding the Investec Champions Cup and EPCR. 

“Our combined passion for the game will enable us to deliver our new ambitious strategy for the Investec Champions Cup as we seek to grow our audiences further around the world in an intentional and sustainable way.”

“We are proud to sponsor the world’s premier club rugby competition. The Investec Champions Cup embodies Out of the Ordinary sporting achievement and is a fantastic platform to further innovate in diversity, sustainability, and financial solutions.”
