What an incredible week it has been! As Women in Sport Week 2025 draws to a close, we are thrilled to share the amazing success of this year’s events in Cavan. Over the past week, 382 women and girls participated in 20 diverse and engaging programmes, showcasing the incredible talent and enthusiasm that exists in our community. From active sports to personal development, the week was a celebration of women embracing physical activity, learning new skills, and empowering themselves.

A Week Full of Diverse Activities

Throughout the week, we were fortunate to partner with a range of organisations and facilitators to deliver a variety of activities for women and girls of all ages and abilities. Here’s a quick roundup of the programmes that made Women in Sport Week 2025 so special:

Shuttle Rocks with Badminton Ireland: 34 Women & Girls took part in a glow in the dark badminton experience.
Ping Pong: 1st year girls in Breifne College & Virginia College took part in the Table tennis Ireland programme, which mixed both ping pong & art together!
Pilates & Lattes: Participants enjoyed a Pilates session, followed by a delicious latte!

Self-Defense: Women learned valuable self-defense techniques, boosting their confidence and physical awareness in a fun and supportive environment.
Online Courses: For those who couldn’t attend in person, we offered online courses that allowed women to learn at their own pace, expanding their knowledge on a variety of topics.
Swimming Activities: A hit with all ages! Our swimming sessions brought together women to enjoy the water, get fit, and socialize in a relaxed atmosphere.
