Evara named lead sponsor of Ireland Women's cricket teams in multi-year Cricket Ireland deal

Ireland's largest privately-owned homebuilder Evara has been announced as the new lead sponsor of the Ireland Women's Senior and Under-19 cricket teams, becoming shirt sponsor of both squads in a multi-year partnership with Cricket Ireland that also spans the club game across the island.

Sport for Business reported that the deal makes Evara title partner of four All-Ireland Club Cup competitions: the Evara Irish Senior Cup, Evara National Cup and both the men's and women's Evara All-Ireland T20 Club Cup, extending the commercial partnership well beyond the international game.

The announcement arrives ahead of a busy summer for Ireland Women, with upcoming fixtures against the West Indies, Pakistan and England, as well as participation in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in June.

Sarah Keane, CEO of Cricket Ireland, said the Ireland Women's senior international squad is a growing force in world cricket and that what excites the organisation about this partnership is that it reflects a shared focus on community, bringing together Cricket Ireland's commitment to grassroots cricket across Ireland with Evara's vision of building places where people want to live and where neighbourhoods come alive.

Michael Hynes, CEO of Evara, said the company is thrilled by the new partnership and delighted to support the growth of an inclusive sport with an ability to bring communities and people together, describing Ireland's women's cricket teams as a growing force in the sport thanks to their dedication, determination, skill levels and competitive edge.

Evara has delivered more than 3,000 homes in the Greater Dublin Area and is investing €2 billion to deliver more than 7,000 new homes over the next five years.
