The history of Irish sport can be held in your hands – if you know where to look. Driven by curiosity, Siobhán Doyle has travelled the length and breadth of Ireland in search of the objects that carry extraordinary sporting stories. Ronnie Delany's running shoes. A turnstile from Lansdowne Road. Rachael Blackmore's saddle. A homemade surfboard. These relics, ordinary at first glance, form a mosaic of memory that stretches from quiet parish playing fields to the grandest international stages.

In this stunning photographic journey, we discover 100 eclectic fragments of Ireland’s sporting soul unearthed from the most unassuming places. Through these mementos, Doyle reveals a deeper truth: that sport in Ireland is not just played or watched, but held, kept, and proudly passed on.

Irish Sport in 100 Objects is a vibrant and fascinating whistle-stop tour of Irish sporting heritage through the tangible, fragile and fiercely meaningful objects that endure.
