Triathlon Ireland One Day Membership (ODM) allows non-members to take part in a Triathlon Ireland sanctioned race.
It’s ideal if you’re doing a ‘try a tri’ or planning to race only once or twice in a season.
about one day membership
What does a One Day Membership include?

- A race licence to take part in a Triathlon Ireland sanctioned event
- Third-party liability insurance
- Personal accident cover while participating in the race
What is NOT included in a One Day Membership?

When Does Full Membership Make More Sense?
If you’re planning more than 2 races in a season, Full Membership is usually the better option.
Example:
3 Sprint races: €36 × 3 = €108 in ODM fees
3 Try-a-Tri races: €24 × 3 = €72 in ODM fees
At this point, you’re already close to or exceeding the cost of Full Membership – without getting the extra benefits.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Why is it called One Day Membership and not a One Day Licence?
While many people still use the term “One Day Licence,” Triathlon Ireland uses “One Day Membership” to reflect that participants are temporarily covered as members for the duration of the event.
What insurance cover do I have?
A One Day Membership includes:
- Third-party liability insurance (cover if you cause injury or damage to another person or property)
- Personal accident cover while racing
This cover is valid only for the specific event you have entered.
How long is a One Day Membership valid?
Your One Day Membership is valid only for the race it was purchased for and cannot be used for multiple events.
What should I do if I have an accident during a race?
If you are involved in an incident during a sanctioned event, report it to the race organiser on the day and follow up with Triathlon Ireland as soon as possible after the event.
Further details on claims and insurance processes are available on the Triathlon Ireland Insurance page here: https://www.triathlonireland.com/resources/insurance/
Can I upgrade to Full Membership after purchasing an ODM?
Yes. After your race, you will receive an email from Triathlon Ireland with a limited-time offer to upgrade to Full Membership, with the cost of your One Day Membership deducted. Look for an email from : reception@triathlonireland.com
Can I buy a One Day Membership for a race abroad?
No. One Day Memberships are only valid for events within Triathlon Ireland jurisdiction.
If you are racing abroad:
- Check requirements with the local federation or event organiser
- Some events may accept Triathlon Ireland Full Membership, but this may provide limited cover (often third-party only)
- Additional insurance is recommended when racing internationally
Full Membership with Triathlon Ireland typically includes cover for World Triathlon sanctioned events, but travel insurance is still advised.

What’s the difference between One Day Membership, Club Membership, and Full Membership?
- One Day Membership (ODM):
Covers you for a single race only, including race-day insurance. - Club Membership:
Membership covers you for training, community, coaching, but does not replace Triathlon Ireland membership for racing and does not provide cover for training alone. - Full Membership:
Annual membership with Triathlon Ireland, including:
- No need to purchase ODMs
- Insurance during racing and training
- Eligibility for rankings and prizes
- Access to the full triathlon community and benefits
- No need to purchase ODMs
If you plan to race more than twice or train regularly, Full Membership can be a better option.
What insurance cover do I have with a One Day Membership?
Third party and personal accident cover while racing in a sanctioned event through Triathlon Ireland.
Where do I buy the ODM?
Events using our TI entry system – The ODM will be automatically added to your cart should you require one. To view and print your ODM, login to your Triathlon Ireland account and go to view my race registrations or view my One Day Memberships. Download and Print ahead of the race.
Events not using TI entry system – click the “BUY ODM” button next to the race on the race calendar and follow the steps.
Where do I find my ODM?
Your ODM will be available to download from your membership account under “my race registrations” or “view one day membership”. Please bring this with you on the day of the event.
I am participating in a Relay, do we all need a One Day Membership?
No, one ODM per team or if one of the team has Full Membership it will cover all team members for insurance.
If I am unable to attend a race I entered can I get a refund on my ODM?
For events taking race entries through the Triathlon Ireland website, the Triathlon Ireland One Day Membership refund policy mirrors the same refund policy as directed by the race organiser at race request (available on our Race Calendar by selecting the “+” sign beside your event).
For events not taking race entries through the Triathlon Ireland website, within 14 days of purchase, one day membership may be refunded provided the membership has not been used i.e., event lapsed, completed an event. Exceptions may be made in extenuating circumstances to be approved by reception@triathlonireland.com and supporting proof may be required. General injury as a result of triathlon training is not considered an exceptional circumstance. Refunds, if approved, will incur an administrative fee of 7%, which will be deducted before fees are refunded. One Day Memberships are non-refundable after 14 days of purchase.
