British & Irish Lions Agree Partnership with Nike

The Lions has agreed a partnership with Nike, who will become the Official Kit Supplier of the Lions, providing the exclusive kit for the inaugural Lions Women’s Team in 2027, and a Principal Partner of the Howden British & Irish Lions Women’s Series 2027.

Under the new agreement, Nike will provide all performance, training, and leisure apparel for the Lions Women’s squad and official touring party during the 2027 Tour to New Zealand. Lifestyle and training collections for supporters will be made available later this year.

Nike last partnered with The British & Irish Lions for the 1993 Lions Men’s Tour to New Zealand.

Nike will also become a principal partner of the Lions Origins Clubs and Schools programme, alongside Howden, in supporting the development of grassroots rugby across the UK and Ireland. Lions Origins Clubs and Schools have played a vital role in shaping future Lions by guiding young athletes throughout their rugby journeys.
