The best clubs in Ireland will gather this weekend at The Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney to decide the strongest clubs in two sections — Premier (A) and Championship (B).
The year’s flagship festival of amateur club snooker will be held with the support of 1xBet.
As in previous years, the 2026 All-Ireland Snooker Club Championships will bring together the strongest teams from across the island.
The current champion, New Institute, will try to defend its title, but they are unlikely to have it all their own way.
Kilkenny Shed wants revenge for last year’s final defeat, and Blackstaff has a strong squad and the experience of winning in 2024.
The main dark horses could be Youghal and Roadstone — promising clubs that can surprise the favourites.
The value of the 2026 All-Ireland Snooker Club Championships is that the tournament shows the real strength of each club.
To win in the Premier (A) and Championship (B) sections, you need a balanced squad of five to eight players, and it is impossible to take the trophy with just one star break-builder.
