Novellus Finance is to return as a partner of the Women’s Irish Challenge as the tournament prepares for its second staging at Malahide Golf Club.
The event made its debut in 2025 as Ireland’s first tournament on the LET Access Series, providing an important pathway for emerging professional golfers targeting progress to the Ladies European Tour. It will return from the 29th to the 31st July 2026.
The inaugural event attracted more than 100 players for a 54-hole stroke play competition and was widely praised for its atmosphere, organisation and local support.
Malahide’s championship parkland course will again provide the setting, bringing elite women’s golf to North Dublin and offering spectators an accessible showcase of the next generation of international talent.
Novellus Finance has supported professional golf in recent years with a particular focus on the women’s game, and its continued backing reflects the momentum building behind the tournament as it seeks to establish itself as a strong fixture in the Irish golfing calendar.
The 2026 Women’s Irish Challenge will look to build on last year’s success, strengthening its role as a stepping stone on the global women’s golf pathway and inspiring more young golfers across Ireland.
