Welcome to BADMINTON MUSEUM OF IRELAND.

The purpose of the Badminton Museum of Ireland is to preserve the great heritage of Irish Badminton and to make the general badminton public aware of it.

Welcome to the latest uploads to our site.

The Historical Item displays a letter from The Badminton Association of England to Frank Peard inviting him and Jim FitzGibbon to a special International Invitation Tournament in Manchester and also to the All-England Championships in London. This invitation is a clear indication of the high regard the two players are held in International Badminton. Unfortunately, Frank Peard was unable to take up the offer.

The Gallery Item displays an image of the Irish team that played England in 1959. This looked an experienced team but were unable to stop the run of English victories.

Work is continuing on the framing of items and other small matters prior to an opening are being addressed.

Dick O’Rafferty
