Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) have announced a new long-term partnership with Gilbert which will include supplying the League with their market-leading rugby balls.
The new PWR Gilbert ball will be seen for the first time in the PWR Up Series in September and will be used throughout the Premiership Women’s Rugby campaign which culminates in The Final on Sunday 16 March. Gilbert will also be supplying the kit for our match officials.
Belinda Moore, PWR chief executive said: “Today’s announcement marks the continuation of a long-standing and strong relationship between Gilbert and the women’s game in England, to kick off our second season.
“Gilbert Rugby are worldwide leaders in rugby ball technology, innovation and quality and are the perfect fit for our League. I know our Clubs are looking forward to getting their hands on the new season balls over the next few weeks.
Gilbert’s dedicated support for rugby around the globe sees them partner with World Rugby development programmes and provide the market-leading Gilbert match ball to the Top 20 World Rugby ranked men’s teams and Top 10 women’s teams for the first time.
To celebrate the announcement Gilbert have agreed to a brilliant pre-season money-off promotion for PWR fans. Anyone buying the PWR Supporter or Replica Ball on this link will receive 20% off Gilbert’s women’s range.
Gilbert Rugby Commercial CEO, Richard Gray added: “It’s an honour to have been chosen as the official ball for Premiership Women’s Rugby – the world’s leading women’s club rugby competition – to further enhance our commitment to supporting and growing the women’s game.
“The upcoming season will see the best players in the women’s game battle it out in what promises to be another thrilling competition, heading into the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 in England, so it is only fitting that they will be using the leading balls in world rugby.”
With thanks to the PWR
