The IRFU Grand Draw,Your Club, Your Country, brought to you by Energia, is back for the new season with more great prizes and a safe way for clubs to raise much needed funds in a very challenging year.
For the first time, this year’s draw will be hosted online expanding the ability of clubs to reach their members and the wider community as well as providing a safe way to sell their tickets.
Participating clubs will have their own Your Club Your Country link to sell their tickets, with 100% of funds raised going directly to the club.
This is the 10th year of the draw which has raised over €5.7 Million for the club game. Last year, with the support of Energia and the family of IRFU partners, clubs raised just over €673,000.

“We are delighted to support the IRFU ‘Your Club Your Country’ Grand draw this year. Taking the draw online is another innovative step that will help clubs, their members and the wider community to show their support in a safe way.In our first year of sponsorship we have seen the incredible support at every level of the game and we are proud to be part of this initiative to help clubs raise funds and bring even more positive energy to the game.” IRFU President Nicholas Comyn commented,
This has been such a difficult year for our country and our society, but, amid all the turmoil, we have seen a huge effort by clubs and club members to help rugby to survive. Your Club Your Country sums up the spirit shown by so many this year and we’re delighted to provide this chance for clubs to raise vital funds to allow them to continue to support their communities.Speaking about the new online version of the draw, IRFU Commercial & Marketing Director Padraig Power said, “Taking the draw online was something we were looking at following consultation with the clubs in recent seasons. The Covid-19 situation accelerated that process and we’re pleased to have an innovative format that will help clubs and their members. This is a paperless solution that will see every euro raised go straight into the club. It is safe, secure and cuts down on the use of paper.
We are, as always, extremely grateful to our family of sponsors and partners. This year has been challenging on so many levels, but our sponsors have continued to support rugby and the Grand Draw initiative.”Prizes will be subject to the prevailing Government health guidelines on travel and gatherings.
