Gallagher Granite Trophy 2026
Supporting rugby across the Channel Islands
The Gallagher Granite Trophy returns this year as the Channel Islands team prepares to take on Poland in an international fixture at CoinShares Park in Jersey.
Gallagher is proud to support the Gallagher Granite Trophy as part of its wider commitment to rugby at every level. Around the world, Gallagher has a strong connection with the sport, from Gallagher PREM and support for PWR, Professional Women's Rugby, to sponsorship of the Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2025.
That support reflects a genuine belief in the value of sport, not only at professional and international level, but in local clubs, grassroots rugby and the opportunities it creates for young people.
Rugby can help build confidence, resilience and teamwork, whilst also supporting mental and physical wellbeing and strengthening communities.
John Lowery, Director Gallagher CI & Isle of Man Corporate & Professional Risks, said:
“We are delighted to support the Gallagher Granite Trophy and to play a part in bringing this fixture to Jersey. Sport can be an incredible force for good, from the personal development of players to the way it brings people together across clubs, families and communities.
“The Gallagher Granite Trophy is a great example of that. Guernsey and Jersey may be traditional rivals, but this competition brings players from both islands together as one Channel Islands team. To then see that team take on Poland is a fantastic opportunity for the players and a brilliant moment for local rugby.”
The fixture is also a chance to celebrate the work taking place across the islands to support rugby at every level, from senior teams and coaches to the young players coming through the clubs.
For Gallagher, supporting the Granite Trophy is about helping to create opportunities, champion local sport and celebrate the role rugby plays in island life.
We wish both teams the very best for the match.
