Charity Programme

In 2010 Munster Rugby established an official structure to actively support nominated charities. 

We work with the charities helping them raise awareness and generate funds during the season.  Munster Rugby look to support the nominated charities in the following ways:

  • Player appearances
  • Signed merchandise
  • Hospitality table at a URC match in Thomond Park
  • Supporting various fundraising activities during the year
  • Nominated “Charity Game”

Each year all applications are reviewed over the summer by a committee containing members from the Munster Branch, senior players, team management and Munster Rugby staff representatives.
