With World Triathlon and Europe Triathlon Championships taking place across Europe and Canada, 2027 promises another exciting year for Tri Team Ireland.

Whether you’re an experienced international competitor or considering representing Ireland for the very first time, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. From Sprint and Standard Distance Triathlon to Duathlon, Aquathlon, Cross Triathlon, Aquabike and Long Distance racing, the calendar offers something for athletes across a wide range of disciplines and distances.

The European championship season gets underway in May, with events in Spain and Germany, including the Cross Triathlon and Cross Duathlon Championships in Calahorra, the Middle Distance Duathlon Championships in Alsdorf and a weekend of racing in Pamplona.
