The 2016/17 Guinness PRO12 final is set to take place in Dublin at the Aviva Stadium as the league finale moves to another of rugby's iconic arenas.
After Connacht claimed last season's Guinness PRO12 title with a 20-10 victory at Murrayfield, it will be Dublin that hosts the final this time around.
In addition, PRO12 Rugby announced that Guinness will continue as title sponsor for another four years until 2020 which continues the strong partnership with the Championship that began in 2014.
Speaking at the 2016/17 launch event at Aviva Stadium, Martin Anayi, chief executive of PRO12 Rugby, said: "After the successes of the finals hosted in Belfast and Edinburgh, Aviva Stadium will provide another grand stage that rewards clubs, players and fans from across the Championship.
"Since its redevelopment in 2010, Aviva Stadium has fast become an iconic rugby arena and after a thrilling final at Murrayfield between Connacht Rugby and Leinster Rugby that set a new attendance record, it seems only right that we should try to raise the bar yet again here in Dublin."
Gerald Davies, chairman of PRO12 Rugby, noted that the inventive style of play that the Championship prides itself on has been backed up by statistics gathered by World Rugby. The analysis showed that when it came to average ball in time play across the 2015/16 season, the Guinness PRO12 scored the highest when compared to all club and international tournaments, while the Championship also had the least amount of penalties conceded among the top leagues in Europe.
Davies said: "You only have to look at the adventurous styles from our two previous champions, Glasgow Warriors and Connacht Rugby, to see the positivity that exists within our coaches' rugby philosophies. It is also heart-warming to see future internationals and British & Irish Lions start their careers in our Championship as they stand side by side with the biggest names of our game."
