1xBet Ireland becomes official sponsor of prestigious All-Ireland Snooker Club Championships 2026

From 22 to 25 January, the best clubs on the island of Ireland will compete for the championship title and the name of their club. The tournament will take place at Gleneagle Killarney, with the support of 1xBet Ireland.

The All-Ireland Snooker Club Championships is the main club competition in amateur snooker, held since the early 1990s. It has become a real test for the best teams on the island, because winning depends on squad depth, structure, and team psychology, not only the individual skill of the team’s top player.

The All-Ireland Snooker Club Championships 2026 will feature the most decorated clubs. The main favourite to win is the current champion, New Institute, a strong club with almost every major title in its collection. However, last year’s finalist, Kilkenny Shed, and the 2024 champion, Blackstaff, are ready to challenge them. It is also worth watching Youghal and Roadstone, who could surprise and give the favourites a tough match.

The team format of the championship shows each club’s real strength. The organisations competing for the title in the Premier (A) and Championship (B) sections have squads of five to eight strong players, not just one star break-builder. That is why, throughout the weekend at Gleneagle Killarney, there will be an atmosphere of mutual support and unity.

1xBet Ireland became the official sponsor of the All-Ireland Snooker Club Championships 2026 because it shares the tournament’s values and is actively involved in developing sport in the region.
