The Texaco Support for Sport funding initiative, which, to date has seen over €600,000 distributed to more than 125 sports clubs across Ireland, has been launched for the sixth year.
A fund of €130,000 will be distributed to twenty-six sports clubs on a county-by-county basis, with successful applicants receiving €5,000 in each case.
Application
Following similar lines to that which proved successful over the past five years, the application process is now open online at www.TexacoSupportforSport.com
Clubs wishing to apply can first register their interest to be followed, before closing date, by a completed application that should include full details of their sporting activity, the importance that the club holds in their local community, the purpose for which the funding is sought and the use to which it will be put. A sole qualifying requirement is that clubs making application must be properly constituted and hold a valid GS Exemption Number (Games and Sports Exemption Number) that features on the list published by the Office of the Revenue Commissioners on 2nd July 2026.
Leading the adjudication process is Texaco Support for Sport ambassador, broadcaster and former Irish rugby international, Donncha O’Callaghan. Commenting, O’Callaghan said: “What makes the Texaco Support for Sport initiative so worthwhile is that every club has an equal opportunity to secure funding, regardless of its size, sporting discipline or competitive success. It gives clubs the chance to access support that can make a genuine difference to their future.”
Closing date for applications is 21st January 2027 with adjudication taking place thereafter.
