Southwest League

The Southwest League takes place in counties Cork and Kerry over the course of the year.  The big plus is that it reduces distances to events and takes advantage of the improved N22 road network.  The league has been established by the Cork and Kerry orienteering clubs and is designed to encourage members to travel to the events in neighbouring counties. 

While the Southwest League primarily targets members from Bishopstown Orienteering Club (BOC); Cork Orienteering Club (CorkO) and Kerry Orienteers (KerryO), members of the public and the wider orienteering fraternity are also encouraged to participate in the league.

There are 7 events in the Southwest League for 2025 spread over the calendar year and listed in the table below. An individual’s four best results go to count in the overall Southwest League results.  The seven events will be located in Cork and Kerry and are scheduled for Sundays with a starting time of 11:00.

All events will have six colour courses to suit all abilities and age ranges. These colour courses are Brown, Blue, Green, Light Green, Red, Orange.  On occasions Yellow or other colour courses such as White, Short Green, Black may be added by the organising club, but these additional courses on the day will not form part of the Southwest League.  Check with Orienteering Ireland to ascertain the guidelines and suitability of each of the colour courses, which are currently being revised by the organisation.
