ABOUT SPORT FOR BUSINESS

  • Sport for Business exists at the intersection of sport, business, and leadership in Ireland. Our network brings together senior decision-makers from sport governing bodies, professional teams, sponsors, policymakers, and commercial partners to share insight, challenge thinking, and explore how sport can be a powerful driver of both economic and social value.
  • We work with our members in a collaborative, low-noise way – no hard sell, no forced exposure – but a genuine platform for learning, relationship-building, and thought leadership in a sector that continues to grow in influence and complexity.

  • The Sport for Business Daily Bulletins are delivered each weekday morning and evening to a targeted audience of over 3,000 leaders and opinion formers across Irish Sport, Business, Government, Media and Society
  • The latest monthly readership at the beginning of 2026 is 65,487 individuals from Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, The Netherlands, China, Germany, Canada and Australia as the Top Eight Countries.

  • We host and partner with over 30 events during the year and we work closely with our members to make things happen for them.
  • Sport for Business has been voted the Best Emerging Sports Business and shortlisted as Sports Business of the Year and Sports Media Outlet of the Year. Founder Rob Hartnett was awarded an Outstanding Contribution Award last year at the Irish Sponsorship Awards.
