Dublin, Ireland – November 2025
Seventeen seasons. Twelve counties. One vision. Lantech and Leinster Rugby are celebrating 17 years of partnership built on trust, innovation, and a shared commitment to performance, on and off the pitch.
Since 2007, Lantech has stood behind Leinster Rugby as their strategic technology partner, ensuring that IT empowers progress rather than hinders it. This collaboration has helped transform Leinster Rugby’s operations, supporting everything from elite squad performance to grassroots engagement across the province.
A Relationship Rooted in Ambition.
In 2007, Leinster Rugby was grappling with the same challenge many ambitious organisations face, vision outpacing infrastructure. The systems in place couldn’t keep up with their evolving needs. That’s where Lantech came in, not just to patch problems, but to put the foundations in place for sustainable, secure growth.
Through a full digital transformation, Lantech rebuilt Leinster Rugby’s IT environment from the ground up. Today, their Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 ecosystem powers seamless collaboration, performance insights, and mobile access, whether from Donnybrook, UCD, or on the road.
Built for What Comes Next.
This partnership has stood the test of time and change including remote operations during the pandemic. By leveraging cloud technology and a proactive cybersecurity approach, Leinster Rugby maintained continuity while modernising how their teams work.
The results speak volumes:
- A complete shift to a secure, cloud-native environment
- Scalable collaboration via Microsoft Teams and SharePoint
- Advanced identity and device management to strengthen compliance
- Reduced operational overhead through cloud cost optimisation
While Lantech leads the strategic delivery, its cybersecurity capabilities are strengthened by long-standing partnerships with specialist vendors such as Huntress and Mesh, whose technologies help safeguard client environments from modern threats. These collaborations enhance the proactive defence approach Lantech brings to all clients, including Leinster Rugby.
“A Key Player in Our Success Story”.
Eamon de Búrca, Head of Commercial Partnerships at Leinster Rugby, reflected on the long-standing collaboration:
“Lantech has been, and continues to be, a key player in Leinster Rugby’s success. The way we use technology has evolved dramatically and Lantech has been with us at every step. They don’t just solve problems; they anticipate them. It’s hard to imagine operating without such a committed partner.”
Eyes on the Future.
With the digital landscape constantly evolving, the partnership continues to focus on what matters most: enabling Leinster Rugby’s vision with technology that’s secure, scalable, and fit for the future.
This 17-year milestone is more than a celebration. It’s a reminder of what’s possible when two organisations align around performance, resilience, and a shared belief in continual improvement.
