Allianz announced as the sponsor of GAAGO

Monday, 26th January 2015: GAAGO, the GAA and RT s online streaming service for Gaelic Games outside of Ireland, today welcomed Allianz as the first sponsor of its international online broadcasts

Allianz will sponsor GAAGO's Allianz Leagues coverage, which will be streamed to Gaelic Games fans internationally as a new addition to the service in 2015.

Having first launched in May last year, GAAGO grew to reach an audience of over 600,000 people in over 157 countries worldwide. Beginning with an offering focused on the GAA Football and Hurling Senior Championships (45 games worldwide), GAAGO recently announced an expanded service for 2015, streaming over 120 events to fans worldwide, including Allianz Leagues (44 matches), The Sunday Game highlights show (20 shows), in addition to the GAA Football & Hurling Senior Championships (45 matches worldwide, 25 in GB) and other matches.

D nal Moriarty, Product Leader, GAAGO said The addition of the Allianz Leagues to GAAGO's offering for 2015 is a huge boost to the service, and we are delighted to welcome Allianz onboard as sponsor of our Allianz Leagues coverage. Allianz have been a major supporter of Gaelic Games for over 20 years through their sponsorship of the Allianz Leagues and Cumann na mBunscoil, and this sponsorship of GAAGO's coverage strengthens that relationship.

Speaking at the launch of the 2015 Allianz Leagues, Brendan Murphy, Chief Executive Officer at Allianz said At Allianz we are immensely proud of our long standing support of Gaelic Games. Our sponsorship of the Allianz Leagues competition began in 1992 and we have seen the competition, as well as the technology broadcasting the games, go from strength to strength. It gives me great pleasure that this season, for the first time ever, the Allianz Leagues matches will be available on GAAGO and Allianz is proud to partner with RT and the GAA in bringing these games to a global audience.

Noel Quinn, Media Rights Manager, GAA said Our intention at the outset of the GAAGO project was to bring as many of our games as possible to global audiences. Today's announcement of our partnership with Allianz supports these efforts as followers of football and hurling will be able to enjoy live games from February right through until Autumn.

We are delighted to partner with Allianz, long standing league sponsors, and it is fitting that their support of this coverage comes at a time when the leagues occupy centre stage in our calendar. added Noel Quinn.
