ITV has agreed a new two-year deal with Heineken Cup and Amlin Challenge Cup tournament organisers ERC to broadcast highlights of Europe’s two premier club rugby union competitions.
ITV4 launched a new hour-long highlights show on Monday (October 11) with all the action from the first round weekend.
The Heineken Cup and Amlin Challenge Cup highlights are the latest additions to ITV4's portfolio which includes highlights of rugby's Aviva Premiership, live Uefa Europa League, the Tour de France, Grand Slam of Darts and the upcoming launch of Power Snooker.
ITV also announced in July that it had secured the UK broadcast rights to the 2011 and 2015 IRB Rugby World Cup tournaments.
Niall Sloane, ITV controller of sport, said: "The Heineken Cup is one of the biggest events in world club rugby and we’re delighted to have agreed this new deal with the ERC to bring these two tournaments to ITV4 viewers."
