The Collingwood Football Club has today launched the 2023 Premiership Cup Tour which will be held across Australia throughout the month of November.In celebration of the Club’s 2023 Premiership success, the Cup will travel to states and territories across the country, providing as many Collingwood Members and supporters with the opportunity to add their fingerprints to the historic piece of silverware.The Cup will make its first public appearance this Sunday, November 5 at Victoria Park when the Pies host Richmond in the final round of the AFLW home-and-away season.The first leg of the tour sees the Cup available to Members and supporters at the AIA Vitality Centre before travelling to regional Victoria, with Warrnambool, Ballarat, Shepparton, Euroa and Sale all on the itinerary.The Cup will then take flight and continue its journey interstate to South Australia, Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales, and Tasmania.Collingwood players, past and present, will feature along the tour.Collingwood CEO Craig Kelly said the Club was pleased to share the Cup with as many Members and supporters as possible.“Our Premiership success was achieved by many – our players, staff, Members and supporters. This Cup is a representation of the entire Collingwood family and we look forward to sharing it with you all,” Mr Kelly said.“The tour will kick off this Sunday at our AFLW match at Victoria Park, the last round of the home-and-away season, before travelling across regional Victoria and interstate. We would love to see as many Members of the Magpie Army at the game this weekend in what is a must-win match against the Tigers.“There will be upwards of 20 stops across the country for the month on the road, which includes iconic Australian monuments, public venues across each state, and community football clubs – some of which are the junior homes of our AFL players.“We have one of the largest supporter bases in the AFL, all spread across the nation, and we hope as many fans as possible will be able to celebrate with us.“We look forward to ensuring the Cup is accessible for all fans at venues free of charge. “At the conclusion of the tour, the Cup will return to the Club with the fingerprints of our 19th player, all who came along for the journey with us this year.”We welcome any corporates across the country who would like to host the Cup to complete this form and we invite you to make a donation in support of the Collingwood Community Foundation.
