Women in Sport Week

Women in Sport Week
Visibility is one of the key Pillars outlined within Sport Ireland’s Policy on Women in Sport (WIS). WIS Week supports the policy's objectives and actions. First held in March 2021 and repeated every March since, WIS Week is a significant and successful week of celebration, promotion, and visibility of women’s sport and women in sport.
WIS Week 2025 takes place from March 3rd to 9th, 2025, with International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8th encapsulating the week. IWD is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The campaign theme for IWD 2025 is “Accelerate Action—Collectively, we can Accelerate Action for gender equality.”
The aim of Women in Sport Week is to:
- Celebrate every woman and girl who plays, coaches, officiates, volunteers, works in, and leads on Women in Sport.
- Promote and highlight the ongoing work of Sport Ireland, NGBs, LSPs, and other stakeholders and clubs on Women in Sport.
- Highlight some of the programmes/initiatives funded by Sport Ireland Women in Sport Programme.
Sport Ireland’s vision for women in sport is one where women have an equal opportunity to achieve their full potential while enjoying a lifelong involvement in sport.
