Cork County board chairperson, Tracey Kennedy added: "Chill Insurance has been a great supporter of Cork GAA over the past five years and we are delighted to announce the continuation of this partnership.

"This agreement today underlines how much both organisations are committed to developing and promoting GAA games in Cork across all levels from grassroots to senior level. Today's announcement demonstrates Chill's commitment to Cork GAA as we move forward and compete at the highest standards."

The value of the deal has not been disclosed, as such sponsorship deals are viewed as commercially sensitive by the GAA.

Chill Insurance, which employs 280 staff at their offices in Cork city and Sandyford, Dublin first signed up with Cork GAA in 2013 and renewed the partnership again in 2015.
