Women’s rugby

We’re proud to sponsor the first-ever Lions women’s tour in 2027.

A new era of greatness

We’re helping shape the future of rugby as Series Title Partner for the inaugural Howden British & Irish Lions Women’s Series. The tour will see the trailblazing Lions women’s team heading out on tour to New Zealand in 2027 for a series of games against current world champions, the Black Ferns. Women’s rugby is one of the fastest growing and most exciting areas of the sport, and this new breed of Lions are right at the front of that progress. We’re proud to throwing our support behind them as they prepare for this historic tour.
