In addition, the beer brand will maintain its position as official responsible drinking partner for England Rugby.
Under the agreement, the Guinness Surge Bar in Twickenham’s West Fan Village will remain, while the brand will continue to engage with fans outside of the stadium through various digital campaigns.
Simon Massie-Taylor, commercial chief at RFU, said: “We thank Guinness for their support during the pandemic and are delighted to add another four years to our relationship with them. We look forward to continuing our work with Guinness to provide the best match day experience for fans.”
