Irish Sponsorship Awards
The Irish Sponsorship Awards celebrate the creativity, collaboration and impact of sponsorship in Ireland’s business landscape. Since launching in 2012, we honour brands, agencies, rights-holders and media partners who deliver world-class sponsorship campaigns, from sport and culture to entertainment and social purpose, that drive meaningful business and societal results.
Judged by a panel of respected international and domestic professionals, entries are reviewed with fairness and rigour. Entry is free, and finalists benefit from national visibility before the winners are revealed at a prestigious black-tie gala each November in Dún Laoghaire. The ceremony brings together hundreds of senior executives, offering both celebration and rich networking opportunities.
More than a showcase of excellence, the Awards support the growth of sponsorship as a strategic marketing channel. Organised by BusinessRiver alongside a wider suite of performance programmes, we connect winners and entrants with key decision-makers, raise industry standards and help foster long-term commercial relationships.
