Amy O'Shaughnessy, Head of Brand for Energia, said: "The Energia All-Ireland League has a crucial role to play in creating a pathway from the grassroots structure to the Women's national team. "We were delighted to see the expansion and restructuring of the league this season and the promotion of the games by the IRFU has been very encouraging. "We're excited to work with TG4 and bring the 2022 Women's finals to broadcast for the first time. This is a positive step to increase exposure and showcase the fantastic level of skill we see in the Energia Women's AIL. "We look forward to a great day of rugby at Energia Park and wish all 10 teams the very best of luck in the lead up." IRFU Competitions Manager Kevin Beggs commented: "We welcome the addition of television coverage to our Women's finals. It was in the works to televise the finals in 2020, but our season was cut short due to Covid-19, and there was no AIL season at all in 2020/21. "So, after three years without an occasion like this, it's really an opportunity for fans to come together in Energia Park and support these teams that have made this season a success already. "We're excited to see how the league season will culminate on February 26th." IRFU Women's Development Manager Amanda Greensmith added: "I'd like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to all 10 clubs who participated in the Energia Women's All-Ireland League this season. "There were unknowns coming into September after such a long time without games at this level, but it's fair to say the teams have really grown into the season and we will continue to work with teams on their development. "We've also seen the benefits of current internationals featuring regularly for their clubs in recent weeks in terms of driving standards for themselves and uncapped players with international aspirations. "I know (new Ireland head coach) Greg McWilliams will be a keen observer on finals day and we're looking forward to showcasing the AIL to new audiences."
