Step into a new season with Irish Squash

The 2024/25 squash season is well and truly underway, and we encourage you to search the calendar to find a tournament that suits you or find a local club to get started.

The number of tournaments and leagues available has increased, offering something for all levels across the island of Ireland, from provincial and local leagues to Junior, Senior, and Masters Irish Opens.

Featured Squash Tournaments

The Irish Masters Open takes place from the 17th to 20th October at Fitzwilliam LTC and is considered one of the premier masters tournaments on the European circuit. This tournament is not to be missed if you are a competitive player over 35 years of age.

The In4 Squash Annual LGBTQ+ Tournament takes place on the 28th of September at Trinity College and is an inclusive social tournament, bringing together members of the LGBTQ+ community from around Ireland and beyond.

The Munster League closes for registration on October 4th and now features six divisions catering to everyone, from absolute beginners to seasoned pros. Connacht, Leinster, and Ulster also organise leagues, and you can find details on social media and through your provincial association.

Sutton LTC is hosting a series of one-day tournaments for U11s, U13s, and U15s. These tournaments offer juniors an action-packed day of squash, where they can play against various players and make new friends. They are suitable for all levels and are a great way for beginners to experience tournament squash.

Highfield Squash Club is hosting a Women’s One Day Open on the 20th of October. The tournament was very popular last season, attracting women from far and wide to this uniquely welcoming women’s-only event.

Membership and Club Affiliation

With the start of the 2024/25 season upon us, club affiliation and membership are now due. From October 1st, you will need to be a current member of Irish Squash in order to enter or participate in sanctioned tournaments listed on the calendar.

If you are planning to enter a tournament, please encourage your club to complete their bulk membership upload early. Alternatively, there will be an option to purchase membership directly through the Irish Squash Sporty HQ system if your club has not yet submitted you as a member.

Please contact administrator@irishsquash.com if you need assistance with club affiliation, bulk membership renewals, or direct membership purchases.

Respect

Inclusion is one of the six core values identified in the Irish Squash Strategic Plan, and we are committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment where all members are respected. With this in mind, we would like to remind everyone that all members, coaches, officials, and administrators are bound by the code of conduct.

As part of our regular process of reviewing and updating policies and procedures, Irish Squash has engaged Ireland’s foremost sports law expert, Sarah O’Shea, to review the relevant disciplinary policies and the code of conduct. This process is ongoing, and we look forward to introducing new policies once they are approved.

Best wishes for the season ahead, and please contact a member of staff at Irish Squash if you need assistance.
