Youth Teams Announced for 2026
Team Ireland will have full representation at the World Youth Championships in France next year — with squads in all age categories for the first time in years!
Thanks to the hard work of Youth Manager Adrian Browne and the dedication shown at our Development Days, a fantastic group of young anglers are ready to take on the world stage.
U15: Conor Fitzharris, Jack Norris, Charlie Upton, Michal Urbanksi & Tiernan O’Brien (debut)
U20: Flynn Clarke (Debut), Finn McCarhty (debut), Sean Casey (debut), John Mulligan & James Wellwood
Huge congratulations to all those selected — your commitment and passion have earned you this moment!
The U25 team will be revealed soon — watch this space.
And don’t miss the announcement of our next Development Days, coming soon — the perfect opportunity for more young anglers to get involved!
Youth team travel and entry are subsidised by NCFFI, with support from Inland Fisheries Ireland and partners — but we need your help too! Parents and anglers will be fundraising to cover travel costs, and any support or sponsorship is warmly welcomed to help these young athletes represent Team Ireland with pride.
We also warmly welcome support from our membership — anyone available to travel and support the squad in France will make a huge difference for these young anglers.
