Women in Sport Policy

The policy expresses Sport Ireland’s commitment to women in sport. It builds on the significant work which has already been undertaken in this area within the sport sector to date and, in recognising the opportunity to make a significant impact on the lives of women through their involvement in sport, it provides a blueprint for Sport Ireland’s future work.

It is aligned with the Government’s National Sports Policy 2018 – 2027 and forms a key element of Sport Ireland’s new corporate strategy.
