About women's hockey in Ireland
Women's hockey is played in more than 270 schools and 190 clubs with 24,000 players across Ireland.
Our involvement
We have been the national sponsor of women's hockey in Ireland since July 2005. The sponsorship has since expanded to include girls' hockey.
We are involved with the U16, U18 and the Senior Women's international squads, as well as the development squads.
We also sponsor:
- The ESB Club Championships
- ESB Women's Senior and Junior Cups
- The Interprovincial competitions
- The All-Ireland Schools Cup (also called The Kate Russell Cup)
The 2011 Irish Hockey Awards took place in May at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin, and guest speakers were Irish Rugby International Tommy Bowe and ex Irish Soccer Manager Brian Kerr.
