High Performance—

What do we believe in?

Our mission at Sport Ireland is to support Irish Sports to reach World Podiums by driving excellence in the high performance system through the delivery of world class services. We believe Irish sportsmen and women should achieve consistent world-class performance, and achieve it fairly.

Sport Ireland also wants to encourage amateur athletes to take the next step forward and turn sports into a professional career. We provide information, guidance and funding to those who believe that they want sport to become what they do for a living.

Become an athlete

You love sports, you train several times a week and you think you’ve got what it takes to turn your passion into a career. Here at Sport Ireland we are all about supporting budding athletes. We can show you avenues you can take to do sports professionally, inform you about nutrition and lifestyle regimes that are suggested to facilitate the highest performance. Once you are ready to take that next step, we can provide you with the necessary guidance and funding to make a career out of sports, so you can make yourself and Ireland proud.
