NatWest and Six Nations Rugby have today announced a one-year sponsorship agreement that will see NatWest take on the naming rights for the 2018 Six Nations Championship. The agreement means that the 2018 Championship will be called the ‘NatWest 6 Nations’.
Six Nations Rugby CEO, John Feehan, said: “We are delighted to be announcing NatWest as title sponsor of the NatWest 6 Nations and the extension of our relationship with RBS.
“They have been excellent partners over the past 15 years and we know what an outstanding role they have played and will continue to play in the success of our Championship.
“I am sure it will be a wonderful event in 2018 with NatWest on board. They know how this great Championship works and there is no doubt that it is a very positive development for both us and for NatWest ahead of next season. We greatly look forward to it.”
