Robinsons has today become the Official Soft Drinks Partner of The Hundred.

The three-year deal will see The Hundred feature on pack across the Robinsons’ ready to drink no added sugar range, offering ticket giveaways to consumers via a weekly prize draw.

The Hundred launched last summer to packed out crowds across England and Wales, exciting cricket fans new and old with its innovative mix of high energy sporting action and epic entertainment.

From this summer, Robinsons will put their name to the Strategic Timeout, which gives the bowling side 150 seconds to regroup and rehydrate during the most critical periods of play.

Robinsons has a shared aim to help people make healthier choices and live healthier lives. The Hundred will feature on Robinsons’ ready to drink, no added sugar, range of drinks. Robinsons’ drinks are also made without artificial colours or flavourings.

The inaugural year of The Hundred captivated the nation. The four-week competition saw over 16m people tuning in to watch games across Sky and BBC and 34.3m video views online, with the opening match trending nationally on Twitter.

More than 500,000 tickets were sold and issued across eight venues, with 267,000 attending the women’s fixtures, the highest number for a women’s cricket event globally. 

The new partnership with Robinsons will help The Hundred to grow again in year two and beyond. This summer will see more overseas talent, more outreach into communities, and more kids inspired to get active and pick up a bat and ball.

ROB CALDER, COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR OF THE HUNDRED, SAID:

"Partnering with Robinsons gives The Hundred a fantastic opportunity to get more people into cricket, through the chance to win tickets this summer.

"We are delighted to partner with such an established, British brand like Robinsons and look forward to working with them throughout an important second year for cricket’s newest competition."

Bruce Dallas, Britvic’s Great Britain Marketing Director, said:

"The Hundred has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting events in the UK’s sporting calendar and we are thrilled to be part of the action in the coming seasons. Part of The Hundred’s mission is to make the game of cricket more accessible and more inclusive to families up and down the country and, as a family-favourite brand, Robinsons fully supports these efforts to promote broader engagement with the sport.

"At Britvic we are committed to helping people make healthier choices and live healthier lives through our brands by keeping well hydrated and Robinsons’ involvement with this competition provides a great platform to further this agenda."
