On behalf of the Federation of International Touch and event hosts, Ireland Touch Association, we are delighted to be able to announce that the pools and fixtures for the second Atlantic Youth Touch Cup have now been released.
We are pleased to be able to welcome FIT newcomers, Ukraine to its first international tournament and Portugal, who will be participating in its first FIT youth event.
In total, the 2025 Atlantic Youth Touch Cup will feature 45 teams from 12 nations competing in 9 categories of competition across under 15, under 18 and under 20 age groups. All three age groups will feature male, female and mixed teams with players travelling from as far as China, South Africa and the Cayman Islands. Many thanks to all the players, coaches and support staff who are making this the biggest youth event we have ever hosted.
The tournament will also feature a fantastic team of referees and referee coaches from across Europe and further afield and we would like to thank all our officials for their commitment and support.
Lastly, many thanks to the team at Ireland Touch Association. Led by Michelle Mulcahy they have done a great job in planning the event and we have no doubt those attending will have a fantastic experience on the west coast of Ireland.
It's just four weeks to go until we tap off and we can't wait to welcome everyone to the University of Limerick.
We'll be back in contact with more event updates and news very soon.
