Limerick City Council

Limerick has been chosen as host city for World Club 7s as it is the ideal venue to facilitate a long-term, world-class event that will bring club 7s and their passionate colourful support from all over the world. Limerick has the right airlift via Shannon, a strong supply of quality hotel stock and an international reputation for sporting events.... Limerick Marketing Company's CEO Eoghan Prendergast is confident of the benefits to the city. "Limerick World Club 7s will bring international profile to Limerick and add significantly to Limerick's festivals & events calendar. In all of our discussions with World Club 7s we were looking for more than just a sports event and I'm very confident that the business, community and civic linkages that we envisage from this festival will bring a number of positive benefits to Limerick. This is exactly the type of event envisaged in the Limerick Economic & Spatial Plan 2030 and we look forward to working with World Club 7s in making it an outstanding success". "We very much appreciate the support of all in Limerick City and County Council, particularly that of Limerick Marketing's Eoghan Prendergast and Limerick City and County Manager, Conn Murray," Tim Magee says, "and we would also like to thank John Cantwell and the great team at Thomond Park, and all at Munster Rugby. Most of all though, I would like to thank Philip Danaher, who will kill me for saying this, but this tournament wouldn't have happened without his guidance."Read More
