The idents for the sponsorship, which was negotiated by Mindshare, will be created by OgilvyOne London and will draw on IBM’s "smarter planet" positioning.
Matches will be broadcast live on either ITV1 or ITV4, with action also available on an iPhone app and ITV.com.
The tournament starts on 9 September and matches will kick off as early as 1am UK time.
