Sports clubs from Co Tipperary and beyond are invited to apply for the sixth Texaco Support for Sport initiative, in which a fund of €130,000 will be divided equally in €5,000 amounts and distributed to successful applicants in each of the 26 counties.

To date more than €600,000 has been distributed to over 125 sports clubs across Ireland, of which €5,000 each went to five successful Co Tipperary clubs: Cullen Lattin AFC (2021), Cloughjordan Football Club (2022), Nenagh Hockey Club (2023), St Mary’s Hurling Club (2024) and Carrick Wheelers Cycling Club (2025).

Open to all sports clubs irrespective of sporting discipline, size, membership, age, cultural appeal or gender (including clubs that may have been unsuccessful in their application previously), the initiative is one that ‘recognises and supports the valuable contribution that sports clubs make to communities and throughout Irish society’.

Closing date for applications is 21st January 2027 with adjudication taking place thereafter.
