Ulster Rugby Confirms Switch to Castore

Ulster Rugby has signed a multi-year kit deal partnership with Castore, joining Leinster rugby and the Republic of Ireland football teams in what is becoming a major Irish push for the brand.

Under the terms of the deal, Castore will provide a range of kits to Ulster Rugby’s men’s, women’s and age-grade teams, as well as replica kits and athleisure and training-wear products and an updated merchandise range. This includes a special range to mark 100 years of Ravenhill, Ulster Rugby’s home ground, to be launched in August.

No imagery of the kits has been released as yet but the hope is that they will be ready for the start of the 2024/25 season.

Castore take over the contract from Kukri who have been in place since 2008.

Castore will also take over the management of Ulster Rugby’s online retail platforms, and physical distribution and fulfilment channels, with the aim of improving fulfilment and serving a global audience, a model which Castore has successfully introduced to a number of leading European sports teams.

As well as online, the new range of Ulster Rugby products will be available to buy in Castore’s global retail network and the Ulster Rugby store at Kingspan Stadium.
