From May 20 to 24, Gleneagle Killarney with the support of 1xBet Ireland, will host the Festival of Pool 2026 – one of the main tournaments of the season on the IPA calendar.

The All-Ireland Championships traditionally bring together teams from different counties, serving as a test of lineup strength, consistency, and readiness to compete at a high level. Over several days of play, it will become clear who can best handle the intense schedule and make it all the way to the title.

A total of 185 squads across 8 divisions have been entered in the tournament’s team program: 15 in Men’s Senior, 17 in Men’s Intermediate, 23 in Men’s Junior, 25 in Men’s Junior B, 24 in Ladies, 33 in Over 50s, 20 in Over 60s, and 28 in Under 23s. In each division, the top teams from their groups will advance to the Cup, while the rest will continue competing in the Shield. Fans can follow the results via live scoring.

Such tournaments are important not only for the finalists. They also shine a spotlight on participants who fight their way from the opening matches to the decisive stages, gradually adding intrigue and emotion to the event. For 1xBet Ireland, supporting this tournament marks another step in its engagement with local sports. The brand becomes part of a competition where strong community spirit, county traditions, and genuine fan interest are especially valued.
“Collaboration with the All-Ireland Championships is an opportunity to help Ireland enjoy a long-awaited sporting weekend. We are delighted to be part of the tournament and to contribute to creating a warm atmosphere for players and fans from different counties across the country,” said a 1xBet representative.

Sandra Lopez, a representative of the Festival of Pool 2026, also commented on the partnership: “We are pleased to collaborate with 1xBet Ireland. Such support helps make the tournament more visible and stronger. For teams, it’s an opportunity to focus more calmly on preparation and play, while for fans, it’s a chance to experience the true atmosphere of the event they follow year after year.”
