Gallagher has announced a three-year partnership with Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR), becoming its official insurance partner as part of its ongoing investment in the growth and development of rugby at every level.
The collaboration underscores Gallagher’s dedication to supporting the expansion of women’s rugby both on and off the field. Beyond sponsorship, the firm will focus on leadership, coaching, and community initiatives that align with its values of empowerment and inclusion.
Gallagher already plays a prominent role in advancing women’s participation in the sport through several flagship programmes. These include the Gallagher High Performance Academy, developed in partnership with World Rugby to increase the number of women in senior coaching and leadership positions, and the Gallagher Touchline Academy, which aims to train 2,000 state school teachers by 2028 in collaboration with Premiership Rugby clubs.
From an insurance industry perspective, the partnership highlights the growing importance of sports collaborations as a powerful tool for brand engagement and community connection. By aligning with professional women’s sport, Gallagher enhances its visibility across diverse audiences and builds stronger trust among younger demographics.
The alliance is also expected to open new commercial opportunities in specialised areas such as sports liability, player protection, and event insurance—sectors that continue to expand as women’s sport gains increased participation and sponsorship momentum.
