RFU Strategic plan 2005/06 - 2012/13 RFU's Environment

We believe that there should be three categories of rights: those that are exclusively reserved for the Host Union, those that are reserved for the Lions and those that are the Central rights to be shared between all stakeholders. Our policy will be to seek a split of these rights along the following lines:

Rights	Host Union	Lions	Central
TV - Host Counrty			yes
TV - UK and Overseas			yes
Tour Sponsors			yes
Offical Sponsors	yes	yes
Shirt Sponsors	yes	yes
Venue Adv and Sponsors	yes
Hospitality	yes
Merchandising	yes	yes
Gate Revenue	yes(75%)		yes(25%)
