PRESS: Connacht Rugby and The Connacht Hotel – The Perfect Partnership

Throughout 2019 The Connacht Hotel have been celebrating its 50^th anniversary as part of the Galway community. Throughout this time the hotel has become an industry leader, with much of its success equated to its loyal customers, its commitment to the local community and its strong teamwork. Similarly, Connacht Rugby has an unrivalled tradition of supporting the community, a devoted fan base, and teamwork at its core.  This shared value system is why the relationship between the Connacht Hotel and Connacht Rugby continues to be such a perfect partnership.

“We are delighted to continue our partnership with Connacht Rugby for what promises to be another very exciting season. As the official accommodation partner the success of the Connacht Rugby team has been tremendous for our business and for the region as a whole, and we are delighted to be a part of their story. Having a successful professional rugby side in the province is a major boost in countless ways and we truly look at our arrangement with Connacht Rugby as a partnership and the team at Connacht Rugby as our friends”.

Wayne Neilon
Group General Manager, Connacht Hospitality Group

“We have an excellent partnership with the Connacht Hotel and look forward to developing the partnership in the season ahead. With Champions Cup rugby and our traditional schedule of Pro14 action back in the Sportsground, we are already seeing a surge in interest for ticket sales. The Connacht Hotel has become the traditional host for visiting teams and their supporters to come and meet Connacht supporters. The Connacht Hotel have been an important partner for us over the past few years and we are delighted to have them on board to support developments both on and off the field in Connacht Rugby”.
