Asian-based investment bank Nomura has signed an exclusive four-year deal to sponsor the Varsity Match.
The Twickenham clash, at 2pm on Thursday, December 11, will be known as The Nomura Varsity Match, and the bank will also sponsor the women's fixture.
Oxford University RFC president Lord Butler said: "We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship with Nomura, which is bound to reinforce our links with the Japanese universities with which we have had greatly valued contacts for many years."
