DHL Announces Partnership Of 2013 British & Irish Lions Tour to Australia

Global logistics company DHL is the naming rights sponsor of the British & Irish Lions Tour to Australia in June and July. DHL’s support of rugby extends from international renowned tournaments and teams to local rugby teams in countries such as Kenya, South Africa and Fiji. As well as sponsoring 2011/12 Aviva Premiership Champions Harlequins Rugby Club, DHL was also the Official Logistics Partner of Rugby World Cup 2011 and was a partner of the 2005 DHL Lions Series of New Zealand.

“With less than two weeks to go until the 2013 British & Irish Lions tour begins, DHL is delighted to announce their sponsorship of the tour. DHL has a long relationship with rugby, both domestically with Harlequins Rugby Club and across the world, so to be part of one of the most eagerly anticipated tours in recent memory is very exciting. We’re very proud of our past associations with the sport and look forward to delivering this exciting event to Australia,” said Phil Couchman, CEO of DHL Express UK and Ireland.
