Welcome to BADMINTON MUSEUM OF IRELAND.

Welcome to the latest uploads to our website.

The Historical Item is a press report from 1971 outlining some of the difficulties encountered by Badminton due to “the troubles” in Northern Ireland. Details of the Autumn Open and Irish Under 21 Championships are given.

The Gallery Item is an image of players who competed in the Isle of Man Invitation Tournament and the invitees are all high calibre players.

We are sorry to note the passing of Joe Touhy and Gay Sullivan who gave sterling service to Badminton in Tipperary and Leinster. Their contributions are recorded on the websites of Badminton Ireland and Leinster Badminton.
