Pittsburgh Steelers form partnership with Aer Lingus ahead of Ireland NFL game

Aer Lingus will serve as the presenting partner for Steelers Ireland 2025. The sponsored game will take place at Croke Park in Dublin. As a founding partner of Steelers Ireland and its Official Airline Partner, Aer Lingus aims to strengthen its association with the team.

Additionally, Aer Lingus plans to co-present the Steelers' Ireland Youth Football Development Program to promote American football locally. This involvement aligns with the historical Irish roots of Art Rooney, founder of the Steelers.

Susanne Carberry, Chief Customer Officer of Aer Lingus, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “The Pittsburgh Steelers are a cornerstone of American football, and Aer Lingus is proud to commence an exciting new partnership that bridges both sides of the Atlantic."

The sponsorship aligns with Aer Lingus's ongoing efforts to expand its North American network. Recent expansions include new seasonal services to Denver and Minneapolis/St. Paul and planned routes to Indianapolis and Nashville using their A321XLR aircraft.

While major sports partnerships may not be frequent for Aer Lingus, this initiative reflects its commitment to establishing a strong presence in the United States market by leveraging connections through its Dublin hub.
