Melbourne will be awash with red when the British & Irish Lions rugby fans come to town in exactly 12 months as part of the Lions’s 2013 Australian tour. The Lions are drawn from the best players in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and tour Australia just once every 12 years.
To date more than 15,000 British & Irish Lions supporters have subscribed to travelling to Australia for next year’s tour, and Minister for Tourism and Major Events Louise Asher said that would represent a great tourism outcome for Victoria.
“The tour is part of the Victorian Government’s rugby union events package with Australian Rugby Union and will provide a good economic benefit to Victoria,” Ms Asher said.
The tour kicks off with the Melbourne Rebels vs British & Irish Lions tour match at AAMI Park on 25 June 2013. This is followed by the Qantas Wallabies vs British & Irish Lions Test Match on Saturday 29 June 2013 at Etihad Stadium. The test match is the second of a three-match series. Australian Rugby Union will announce details of ticket sales for the matches in coming weeks.
The 2013 matches will provide excitement for local rugby fans, contributing to Melbourne’s most-liveable lifestyle, and provide significant branding opportunities with a world-wide audience. The city is expected to be inundated with fans from across Australia.
