Sport Ireland Institute

Sport Ireland was established on the 1st October 2015 and brings together the Irish Sports Council (ISC), the Sport Ireland Institute, National Sports Campus and Coaching Ireland to drive the future of Irish sport. Background The Institute of Sport (now the Sport Ireland Institute) was set up by the government in 2006 and based at the Sport Ireland National Sports Campus in Abbotstown. Our remit is to deliver world class support services to high performance athletes mandated by the Irish Sports Council. In 2009 the Institute successfully transitioned and took over responsibility for the science and medicine player athlete services from Coaching Ireland (formerly the NCTC).
