The 2026 edition marks a revival, after a years\u2019 long hiatus, of a tradition of competing between Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales.<\/p>\n
Ireland will take part in tournaments from U15 to Elite and the Galway boxers named on the U15 team are Edward and John Paul Ward from Olympic and Cora Keane from Connemara.<\/p>\n
The team is also managed by Gabe Cronnelly from Monivea.<\/p>\n
On the U17 team, Lacey Shaughnessy of Monivea and Dominic Barrett of Titans will represent Ireland with Monivea\u2019s Gus Farrell one of the coaches and Robbie Osula of Celtic Eagles has been named on the Elite team.<\/p>\n
Boxing Ireland President, Anto Donnelly, is Head of Delegation, while the Overall Team Manager is Anna Moore, of St. Francis BC, Limerick.<\/p>\n
President Donnelly says \u201cI\u2019m proud to see the Four Nations tournament revived and Ireland competing once again alongside England, Scotland and Wales in such an historic competition with such a long tradition. To field a team of 88 athletes is a huge milestone and reflects the strength and depth of boxing throughout Boxing Ireland\u2019s clubs. Tournaments like this are so important for development, giving our athletes the chance to gain international experience and test themselves against quality opposition. I look forward to an exciting tournament of top-quality boxing\u201d<\/p>\n
The tournament will take place at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility, Motherwell, Scotland from Thursday 11th\u00a0June to Sunday 14th\u00a0June 2026.<\/p>\n
