Pizza the action: Papa Johns becomes official delivery and takeaway partner of England Rugby

With an exciting season of international rugby ahead, it only seemed fitting to become the official pizza delivery and takeaway partner of England Rugby for a mammoth five years! We’re extremely excited to be on this journey supporting both the Men’s and Women’s squads.

So expect to see us debut during the Red Roses September International where they take on the USA and Wales as well as the Men’s Autumn Nations Series where England take on Argentina, Japan, New Zealand and South Africa, with a few surprises along the way!

Community Cup

But it is not all about the international teams for us. We will be working with community clubs to boost participation in rugby across England with the newly named, Papa Johns Community Cup. The cup will take place at the end of every season between with the ultimate prize of a showpiece finals day at an iconic ground.

The cup, is part of the biggest changes to RFU leagues rugby in 30 years with the ultimate aim to  improve player retention and to attract new players to the game. Following the changes made by the RFU, it is incredible to see teams taking part in what will now be the Papa Johns Community Cup.
