Athletics Ireland Year-End Registration Figures 2017

Year-End Athlete Registrations 2017

 

Number of Registered clubs in each county at the end of December 2017

 

Cork has the most clubs of any county in Ireland, probably resulting partially from being, geographically, the largest county in the country - travelling distance clearly being a factor influencing how far people are prepared to travel to training.  Cork also boasts to have six of the top 50 biggest clubs in the country, the leading two being Leevale AC and Bandon AC, in 3rd and 5th places respectively. The other four are Ballymore Cobh AC (26th), Midleton AC (37th), Togher AC (40th) and Youghal AC (47th)
