The final two, of four teams, to contest this summer’s Four Nations for Team Ireland have been named
One in 5 Boxing Ireland clubs is represented on the team, which is drawn from 70 clubs in 25 counties.
In total, 88 boxers will travel to contest for Ireland. The tournament will take place at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility, Motherwell, Scotland from Thursday 11th June to Sunday 14th June 2026. It includes boxers at all age categories from U15 to Elite, representing Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales.
Boxing Ireland President, Anto Donnelly, is Head of Delegation, while the Overall Team Manager is Anna Moore, of St. Francis BC, Limerick. Each team will have it’s own dedicated Team Manager and Coaching Staff.
Anto says “I’m proud to see the Four Nations tournament revived and Ireland competing once again alongside England, Scotland and Wales in such an historic competition with such a long tradition. To field a team of 88 athletes is a huge milestone and reflects the strength and depth of boxing throughout Boxing Ireland’s clubs. Tournaments like this are so important for development, giving our athletes the chance to gain international experience and test themselves against quality opposition. I look forward to an exciting tournament of top quality boxing”
