High Performance Programme Funding
High Performance Programme Funding is provided to National Governing Bodies to support the delivery of their performance programmes. This funding supports a range of activities including training camps and competitions, pathway development, performance services and performance team salaries. These programmes are central to supporting Irish athletes and teams in reaching finals and achieving medals at European & World Championships, Olympic & Paralympic Games.
National Governing Bodies have been approved multi-annual funding from 2022 to 2024. This funding package also recognises the investment provided to NGBs in year one (2021) of the Paris 2024 Cycle. Sport Ireland acknowledges that increased and multi-annual funding present an enhanced expectation on NGBs across governance, performance, and programme delivery.
