Ireland and Leinster star Aoife Wafer has been revealed as Energia’s newest brand ambassador.
The partnership marks an exciting collaboration between the energy provider and one of rugby’s leading lights on the global stage
After returning from injury, the 21-year-old Wexford star was a standout performer for Ireland in 2024, including Player of the Match performances in Ireland’s win over Wales in the Six Nations, and in the win against New Zealand in the WXV1.
Wafer was also the only Irish player named in both the Women’s Six Nations Team of the Championship and World Rugby Women’s XVs Dream Team last year.
“I’ve been aware of Energia’s support of Irish rugby through playing in the Energia AIL, and from attending the Rugby for All blitz in MU Barnhall last September,” said Wafer.
“Up close, I’ve seen their passion for supporting Irish Rugby at all levels.”
“It’s great to see the work that they do at grassroots, club and provincial level and I’m excited to be a part of their commitment in making a real difference both on and off the pitch.”
Energia’s support for Rugby includes their title sponsorship of the All-Ireland League and the successful Half a Fan campaign, which encourages rugby supporters to fully engage and support both the men’s and women’s teams throughout Ireland, and the Rugby for All initiative, which aims to grow participation among people with physical or learning differences both on and off the pitch.
“We’re very excited to welcome Aoife to the Energia family,” said Lorna Danaher, Sponsorship and Events Manager.
“It has been an amazing 12 months for Aoife on the international stage and we are delighted to support her as she prepares to compete in the upcoming Women’s Six Nations and Rugby World Cup in late August.”
Aoife Wafer joins Ireland and Leinster fullback Hugo Keenan as Energia brand ambassadors.

Aoife was the standout star of the Irish team last season, helping them to exceed all expectations and securing qualification for this year’s Rugby World Cup in England. This partnership with one of Irish Rugby’s biggest supporters is just reward.
