The Padel Irish Open has announced Hiscox as the official Title Sponsor of the 2025 tournament, set to take place at Padel LK in Limerick between the 12th and 16th of November.
Hiscox thus becomes the first-ever title sponsor of a professional padel event in the country.
The inaugural Hiscox Padel Irish Open, organised by ForeFront Sports and the Padel Federation of Ireland, in partnership with Padel LK, is an official stop on the Cupra FIP Tour, the International Padel Federation (FIP) global circuit of padel tournaments.
It will attract top-tier international players alongside Ireland’s best talent. With the sport of padel rapidly gaining momentum across the nation, the addition of a globally recognised brand like Hiscox as title sponsor is another big win..
“We’re incredibly proud to be the Title Sponsor of the inaugural Hiscox Padel Irish Open,” said Richard O’Dwyer, Managing Director.
“At Hiscox Ireland, we’re passionate about supporting innovation and ambition, values that padel embodies as it continues to grow across the country.”
“This partnership marks an exciting moment not just for the sport, but for the wider community of players, fans, and organisers driving its momentum. We look forward to seeing the energy and enthusiasm this event brings to Limerick and to the growing padel scene in Ireland.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Hiscox as the title sponsor of the Padel Irish Open,” added Cian Branagan, CEO of ForeFront Group.
“Their support marks a huge step forward, not only for this event but for the development of the sport nationally. Securing a partner of this calibre demonstrates the growing recognition of padel and its potential in Ireland.”
“With the backing of Hiscox, we can continue building this event year on year, with the ambition of establishing it as one of the leading tournaments in Europe.”
The Hiscox Padel Irish Open is expected to draw top players from around Europe, along with national talent, spectators, sponsors, and media attention. Further announcements, including player entry, ticketing, and event activations, will follow in the coming weeks.
