ABOUT THE 7s SERIES
The Beacon Hospital All-Ireland 7s Series showcases some of the country’s finest athletes from right across Ireland with over 1,100 players competing in the series across all four codes. After a 2-year pandemic-enforced break we look forward to renewing old acquaintances and the running of this unique series. This is a ground-breaking year for the 7’s as it is the first time in the events 49-year history that all four codes have come together under the one title sponsor. It is also a pleasure to be associated with the GAA, LGFA & Camogie Association at a national level through these prestigious competitions.
The 7’s Series at Kilmacud Crokes have a long and proud history of providing clubs with an ideal platform to showcase their talent in what is always a fiercely contested competition. In addition, its annual fixture on the eve of the All-Ireland Finals means that it is a traditional gathering spot for the supporters of the teams participating in the senior finals the following day. Renowned as a major sporting and social event it is also well known as the place to find that elusive ticket to the All-Ireland Final.
The competition could not be staged without the massive cross club support and spirit of voluntarism with approximately 800 volunteers involved over the course of the four weekends.
