From the National Coarse Fishing Federation of Ireland:
We have a long standing relationship with angling tourism in our aim to promote fishing in Ireland overseas.
Aside from bringing World and European championships to the island to showcase our world class angling venues, our member clubs contribute greatly to making Ireland the number one destination for the angling holidaymaker. They run matches that are 2 to 7 days in duration which, when combined with great fishing and warm hospitality, present the unique product that is the Irish Festival.
Sought after by the overseas angler these events are open to everyone, with no qualifiers to contend with and a variety of canals, loughs and rivers there is a festival for everyone throughout the year.
It’s not too late to book in for this year; check out our online calendar and download a copy of the festival calendar https://www.ncffi.ie/competitions/
