Sport Ireland has made funds available for major, International events to be brought to our shores to support Government policy. Irish Sailing has secured these funds to support key events over the last two years and will facilitate funding applications for future events.
Sport Ireland is now integrating this funding application process into its digital portal, SIGMA, used to manage sports funding applications and governance. As a result, we are informed that applications for 2027 events need to brought forward and must be submitted by deadline 17 May 2026.
Clubs and Class Associations planning major international events next year and who may wish to avail of this funding, should contact the Irish Sailing racing team to check eligibility before preparing submissions in short order ahead of the mid-May deadline. We thank Sport Ireland for their support, and hope for great events and good fortune.
