Squash Ireland

The squash federation in Ireland

Squash Ireland (previously known internationally as the Irish Squash Federation, still reflected in its info@irishsquash.com contact address) is the sport's National Governing Body in Ireland, a member of the World Squash Federation (WSF) and the European Federation of Squash (ESF). It is funded through public-sector funding (Sport Ireland), membership/affiliation fees and private sponsorship. It runs the national competitive calendar (junior, senior and masters tournaments, provincial leagues, national rankings and results) and national teams that compete internationally (e.g. at the European Club Championships), and provides coach education, referee training/accreditation, club-development and governance support, and technical/maintenance advice to affiliated clubs. Since the 2026/27 season it runs membership and club affiliation through a platform called 'My Squash Ireland', built on the JustGo system.
