Aer Lingus has, once again, taken up Official Airline duties for the Irish Women’s rugby team for this year’s Women’s Six Nations Championship, which runs until the end of April.
This year’s tournament kicked off this past weekend, with the usual big two – England and France – dominating the opening weekend.
However, Ireland’s improvement continues, with the team going down 15-27 in a close-run game against France at Ravenhill/Kingspan Stadium in Belfast on Saturday.
The girls in green have three home matches, this season – against Scotland, England and Wales – as they seek to build on their impressive third place in last year’s Championship, which followed the previous year’s wooden spoon.
Aer Lingus, Official Airline of the IRFU, is proud to support the Irish Women’s rugby team as they embark on their 2025 Guinness Women’s Six Nations Championship campaign. Aer Lingus will bring the team and #HomeAdvantage to Ireland’s away matches through direct flights to Italy, Wales and Scotland.
Aer Lingus first partnered with the IRFU in 2015 and is proud to celebrate a decade of support for Irish rugby. For 10 years, the airline has flown both the women’s and men’s teams to Six Nations matches, World Cups, and international fixtures, while also bringing #HomeAdvantage across the globe.
Guinness Rugby Writers of Ireland’s 2024 Women’s Player of the Year, Aoife Wafer, has been announced as a new ambassador for Aer Lingus joining Dorothy Wall, Neve Jones, and Linda Djougang.
Linda Djougang, Aer Lingus ambassador and Ireland player, said: “The Irish supporters are truly amazing, and their energy, both at home and away, gives us a huge boost as a team. As we approach the 2025 Guinness Women’s Six Nations, we are thrilled to once again have the backing of Aer Lingus and look forward to being welcomed onboard for our Italy, Wales and Scotland matches.”
Susanne Carberry, Aer Lingus Chief Customer Officer, said: “At Aer Lingus, we are proud to bring #HomeAdvantage to the team’s away games for the 2025 Guinness Women’s Six Nations. As we celebrate ten years as a partner with the IRFU, we wish the team, management, coaches and our ambassadors Linda, Aoife, Dorothy and Neve the best of luck and we look forward to welcoming them onboard.”
