See the lunch schedule
No-brainer math Lunch value alone covers most sponsorships

Your sponsorship pays for itself in lunches alone.

URLA hosts 12 sponsor & investor lunches a year, free for sponsors. At $30 per lunch, that's ~$360 in covered meals for every sponsor, every year. Most sponsorships either match that or pay for themselves before the marketing math even starts. The networking, the eyes on your business, the weekly content slot — those are bonuses on top of a meal plan you already broke even on.

Why URLA

Why back this league.

01

Permanent backlinks

Every sponsorship gets its own page on the team or league site, linked from sponsor directories, with your business name, address, and URL. Doesn't expire when the season ends.

02

Own a weekly show

URLA produces 25+ posts a week. Sponsors don't just buy a logo — they own a recurring weekly content slot. Best Cuts of the Week (Neighborhood Barbers). Body Mover (Top Notch Movers). Soft Hands (Safe and Sound Pianos). Photo of the Week (Eberhard Photo). Rule of the Week (JKW). See available shows →

03

Match-day photos + video

Every URLA match is photographed and filmed. Sponsors get the full library — game-day photos, livestream clips, post-match B-roll — to use in your own marketing, social, ads, and website. Real content, free for you to repurpose.

04

Local audience, real reach

Players, families, fans, and the local rugby community across the Salt Lake / Utah County area. Logo on jerseys, on every social post, on the livestream — visible all season.

05

Player pipeline

URLA is the next-level rugby league pathway for Utah players. Anything you contribute above a player's $310 registration goes directly to the player at a 75% split — you're funding their pathway.

06

Sponsor & investor seat

URLA sponsors are also URLA's investors — you get a vote in the bigger initiatives the league takes on. NRL Vegas 9s sponsorship, off-season 9s tournament, Utah traveling team, new partnerships — these get decided at the year-round monthly Sponsor & Investor Lunch. Funding URLA = backing where it goes next.

07

12 free lunches a year

Monthly in-person sponsor & investor lunch, year-round. All five team presidents and the URLA sponsor roster in one room. ~$360/year in covered meals alone — most sponsorships break even on lunch value before any of the marketing math starts. Plus local business networking and a vote on URLA strategy.

08

Player database access

Need to fill a role at your business? Sponsors can post hiring needs to URLA's player network — 169+ active players plus the broader URLA community. Free as part of the partnership.

09

Run a referral program

URLA sponsors can set up referral commissions paid to players who refer business that closes. Live programs from JKW Vacation Club (15–50%) and Top Notch Movers. URLA handles the tracking and onboarding. See referrals →
