Macron and Gloucester Rugby are proud to announce the signing of a multi-year partnership that, starting from the 2025/26 season, will see the “Macron Hero” logo featured across all sportswear for both the men’s and women’s divisions of the iconic English club.
Through this significant collaboration, Macron – leading brand in sportswear at an international level – further strengthens its prominent positioning in the world of rugby. The Italian manufacturer at present outfits 7 of the 20 teams that participated in the 2023 Rugby World Cup, including 3 of the 6 National teams competing in the Guinness Six Nations (Italy, Scotland, and Wales).
For Gloucester Rugby – historic club founded in 1873 and currently competing in the English top league (Gallagher Premiership) – and Gloucester-Hartpury, the club’s women’s division and three-time consecutive champions of the UK’s premier competition, Macron will serve both as Technical Partner and Retail Partner. This includes the management of the club’s physical store in Gloucester as well as its e-commerce operations.
