The supporting campaign, \u2018The Landscape of Legends\u2019, pays tribute to Irish environments that have given rise to some of the toughest players in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The Home jersey is finished in Cadmium Green, chosen to reflect the richness of Ireland\u2019s landscape. In contrast, the Pre-Game shirt takes inspiration from the night skies of Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Porter, Ireland and British &amp; Irish Lions prop, commented:<\/p>\n<p>Canterbury really made a lot of noise last year with their hugely popular jerseys, especially the 150th edition. Seeing another jersey this year that celebrates the island of Ireland is fantastic. As always with Canterbury, there\u2019s never any doubt the jersey performs at the highest level, so for it to also look this good is a massive bonus. It\u2019s that rare mix of style and function done perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Rowe, SVP of Canterbury of New Zealand, said: \u201cFollowing the success of last year\u2019s jerseys, especially the 150th anniversary kit, we wanted to carry that sense of tradition forward while ensuring the players have something that performs at the highest level. We saw great reception to the collar, so have brought that into this year\u2019s home kit. With both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams playing some of their best rugby, it only feels fitting to provide them with a jersey that matches those standards, and we can\u2019t wait to see them wear it on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Philip Staunton, Buying Director of Intersport Elverys, added: \u201cBuilding on the incredible momentum of the Green Wave campaign during the Rugby World Cup, we\u2019re proud to unveil the 2025\/26 Irish Rugby jersey as the Official Sports Retail Partner of Irish Rugby. Designed by Canterbury, the new kit blends innovation with a deep respect for tradition \u2013 ensuring that both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams take the field in a jersey that inspires pride in players and fans alike.
