The Federation of Irish Sport has announced the renewal of its commercial partnership with the Crowne Plaza Hotel Blanchardstown as a Preferred Supplier for 2025.
Since 2022, the hotel has served as the host venue for the annual Volunteers in Sport Awards, an event that honours the dedication and passion of those who give their time to support sport across Ireland.
The hotel will not only host the 2024 awards at the end of February 2025 but it also hosted the Annual Leaders Forum for senior management of National Governing Bodies in Sport and the National Network of 29 Local Sports Partnerships last week.
Located just minutes from the Sport Ireland Campus, the Crowne Plaza boasts a dedicated Conference Centre, offering a variety of options for National Governing Bodies and Local Sports Partnerships to host events of every size and scale.
At the heart of the Crowne Plaza’s conference facilities is the impressive Heather Suite, which can accommodate up to 600 delegates. The hotel also features 14 state-of-the-art meeting rooms, offering flexible seating styles, including theatre and cabaret setups, making them ideal for a variety of gatherings.
“Our renewed partnership with the Crowne Plaza Blanchardstown is a testament to their exceptional facilities and consistent high standard of service,” said Mary O’Connor, CEO of the Federation of Irish Sport.
“The Volunteers in Sport Awards is a highlight of our calendar, and the Crowne Plaza provides the perfect backdrop to celebrate the incredible individuals who drive Irish sport forward. We look forward to continuing this successful collaboration in 2025 and bringing our Annual Leaders Forum to the Crowne Plaza for the first time.”
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Federation of Irish Sport and are truly grateful for the opportunity to renew our collaboration,” added Agnieszka Lalor, General Manager of the Crowne Plaza Blanchardstown.
“It is an honour to work alongside such an impactful organisation that supports the growth and development of sporting bodies across Ireland.”
“At Crowne Plaza Dublin Blanchardstown, we are proud to have hosted the Olympics team, Paralympic team, Irish Rugby Team, the All Blacks, and various other international teams, reinforcing our commitment to providing exceptional service and facilities for athletes from all corners of the globe.”

The location of the hotel, within five minutes of the Sport Ireland Campus makes this a partnership with obvious benefits for both sides.
