 The World Games 2022, Birmingham, Alabama has concluded. We would like to thank our athletes Ken Cottrell (Kilkenny), Eoin Tynan (Fethard), Aisling Hickey (Rossmore) and Majella Haverty (Castlebar) who represented team Ireland at these Games.

The World Games is an international sports event held every four years. Staged over 11 days, The Games represents the pinnacle of competition for 3,600 of the world’s best athletes in 30+ unique, multi-disciplinary sports including racquetball. The World Games generates worldwide exposure for participating sports and provides a highly visible stage on which athletes from more than 100 countries compete for gold.

The team attended the Opening Ceremony on Thursday July 7th prior to the competition and our racquetball athletes were the sole athletes to walk in the parade for Team Ireland. A proud moment for Eoin Tynan to carry the Irish flag into the stadium of 50,000 onlookers. The events were broadcast on US television. View our athletes entering the stadium here:
