The 2024 Volunteers in Sport Awards, supported by the National Network of Local Sports Partnerships will be celebrated on Friday 28th February 2025. There will be an in-person awards ceremony in the Crowne Plaza Hotel Blanchardstown in Dublin. Nominations open on the 12th of November. The closing date for entries is 5pm Tuesday 17th December.

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.
