The Dublin Badminton Open Championship is one for players who want proper competitive match play in a well-organised tournament setting. Run by Badminton Ireland, the national governing body with over a century of tournament experience in Ireland, this championship draws competitors from clubs across the country for a full day of singles and doubles competition. It suits club players looking to test themselves outside of league fixtures, as well as more experienced competitors who want a structured event on their calendar for August.
Competition runs across singles and doubles formats, with categories accommodating multiple ability levels - so both developing club players and seasoned competitors can enter. The all-day format means courts are busy from the 9am start, with matches running through the morning and into the afternoon as the draw progresses. The Dublin Badminton Centre in Glasnevin is a purpose-built indoor facility with multiple courts laid out for tournament play, and spectator seating is available for anyone coming along to support or watch.
Entry is per player per event at €20, which covers your competitive slot. Badminton Ireland runs their tournament registration through their online portal at badmintonireland.com - check there or their tournament software platform for how to enter and to confirm the latest draw details as the date approaches.
Dublin Badminton Centre is in Glasnevin, on the northside of Dublin city, a few kilometres from the city centre. Dublin Bus serves Glasnevin well from the city - routes along Finglas Road and Glasnevin Avenue bring you within a short walk. If you are driving, the M50 and the N2 (Finglas Road) are the main approach routes from outside the city; parking in the area is generally available around the centre. Glasnevin is also close to the Luas Cross City line at Broombridge, a short taxi or bus connection away.
A day at the badminton centre makes a good excuse to spend time in Dublin. Glasnevin itself is home to Glasnevin Cemetery and Museum, one of the most significant historical sites in the country, just a short walk away. There is more to see in Dublin and across Co. Dublin.
