The 2025 Volunteers in Sport Awards will be celebrated on Thursday 26th February 2026. Details to follow shortly.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of our sporting clubs and communities, without them there would be no teams coached, matches played, pitches prepared, sandwiches made, trips organised, races run or courts kept in condition. Each week over 450,000 people volunteer to help make sport happen. And their efforts are worth over €1.5bn to the economy.

The Federation of Irish Sport hosts the Volunteers in Sport Awards as a unique celebration to honour and recognise individuals who are part of the wider volunteering community involved in sport, who give freely of their time, skills and efforts in a variety of ways through the structure of sports clubs and/or community organisations in Ireland.

Complete the entry form to celebrate the volunteer you admire most. There will be 32 county winners decided*, each winning a commemorative prize and an overall award for Outstanding Achievement.
