A bumper reinforcement structure having a bumper reinforcement which extends along a vehicle transverse direction of a vehicle body and which is disposed at longitudinal direction end portions of side frames disposed along a vehicle longitudinal direction and which has a projecting portion projecting at least one of further upwardly and further downwardly than the longitudinal direction end portions of the side frames. The bumper reinforcement structure includes a load transmitting portion which is not rigidly fixed to the longitudinal direction end portions of the side frames and which, at the time of a collision, applies to the side frames a force in an opposite direction to a direction in which the projecting portion of the bumper reinforcement projects with respect to the side frames. Accordingly, at the time of a collision, a bending moment, which is in a direction of offsetting a bending moment acting on the side frames, is applied to the side frames via the load transmitting portion.
