BDO Ireland renews partnership with Leinster Rugby as official business advisors

Dublin, 1st October 2025 – BDO Ireland has today announced the renewal of its long-standing partnership with Leinster Rugby, continuing as the province’s official business advisors for both the organisation and its players.

The renewed agreement will also see BDO continue to align its brand closely with Leinster Rugby, the strong shared values and commitment to excellence that both organisations uphold. With offices in Dublin and Limerick, and a global network of more than 1,800 offices across 166 countries, BDO offers a wide portfolio of client-first services across audit, tax, consulting and advisory.

In response to the renewed partnership, Brian McEnery, Managing Partner, BDO Ireland, said:

Our partnership with Leinster Rugby has gone from strength to strength over the last thirteen years, so we are delighted to be extending it further. At BDO, we share Leinster’s commitment to high performance, teamwork and resilience - values that resonate with our people and our clients alike. This renewed agreement is about deepening those connections, supporting Leinster on and off the pitch, and creating opportunities for our clients to experience something truly unique. We see this renewal not just as a continuation, but as an opportunity to explore new ways of working together and broadening the impact of our partnership.

Éamon de Búrca, Head of Commercial Partnership with Leinster Rugby, said:

BDO have been a valued member of the Leinster Rugby sponsorship family since coming on board in 2012, so we are delighted to be renewing our partnership.

As a club, we are continually looking to grow and BDO has been a crucial partner in this regard as official business advisors. As one of Europe’s largest accounting networks, BDO bring an invaluable level of expertise to the partnership, helping drive Leinster Rugby forward off the field and advising us as an organisation on our future plans.

The announcement today strengthens our partnership for the years to come, and we are hugely excited to now be further cementing the relationship so that we may continue to explore what can be done between both our organisations. We look forward to working closely with Brian, Cian, and all the team in BDO.
