Our Irish Orienteering Championship trophies were introduced at the 2013 Irish Orienteering Championships.
They are awarded to the M21E & W21E winners of the Classic Event. These bronze cast trophies were designed and made by Jarlath Daly.
Our M21E & W21E perpetual trophies were introduced at the 2025 Irish Orienteering Championships.
2024 saw the arrival of our Perpetual Sprint Orienteering Championship trophies. These are awarded to the M21 & W21 winners and were designed and made by Jarlath Daly.
Colin Dunlop (Setanta) took to orienteering after many successful years in rugby and was regarded as a brilliant planner and controller. His planning approach was always to imagine himself as the competitor of all abilities and he always loved to discuss their route choices after an event. “It’s a good day – go with it” was Colin’s motto.
The trophy is presented on alternative years to either the M50 or W50 class winner at the Irish Classic Championships.
When Lee-O disbanded, they commissioned two new trophies for our M18 & W18 class winners at the Irish Classic Championships.
The W18 trophy was dedicated in honour of Lee-O, while the Lynam Trophy was named to commemorate the work of Joss & Ruth Lynam. Ruth gave countless years of service to our Junior Squad, while Joss was one of the founders of orienteering in Ireland.
The Nuala Creagh trophies are presented to the M16 and W16 winners of the Irish Classic Championships.
Nuala served as the Junior Affairs Officer and developed this role considerably during her tenure. Nuala was also an accomplished orienteer having won numerous age categories and representing Ireland internationally. The trophies were designed and made by her daughter.
This trophy is awarded to the W14 winner of the Irish Classic Championships.
The trophy is dedicated to Cliona Callanan (BOC) who won this class but sadly passed away at a young age. The trophy was designed and donated by her family.
