Dublin secure massive Vodafone deal

Dublin GAA have secured a sponsorship deal with Vodafone worth a reported €6million over six years.

Vodafone, who replace long-time sponsors Arnotts, will sponsor the senior hurling and football teams for about €1m a year.

Vodafone saw off competition from Meteor to sponsor the Dubs in the biggest deal of its kind in the history of the GAA.

Despite a lack of All-Ireland success since their victory in 1995, Dublin remain the highest draw in the country with regular attendances of over 80,000 for their Championship matches at Croke Park.
