Expressions of Interest requested for InsureMyHouse.ie Masters National Cup 2023/24

Basketball Ireland would like to request expressions of interest from teams interested in competing in the InsureMyHouse.ie Masters National Cup 2023/24.

Neptune BC and Rebel Ramblers won the Over 40 men's and O40 women's categories respectively at the National Basketball Arena in April and by filling out the survey below, Basketball Ireland can provide the most inclusive format possible in terms of age categories and number of participants. 

The calender of Masters basketball events continues to grow. The Galway Masters international tournament will take place next month (November 10th/11th/12th) followed by the Dublin and Kilkenny Masters. A further event will be added to the circuit shortly. 

The Basketball Ireland Masters' programme has been boosted in recent years with some excellent performances by our teams on the international stage. To build on that we would like to assemble a database of coaches, players and management who wish to compete and take part in international competition. 

It is important that we get this in place as early as possible to facilitate planning for the FIMBA European Championships in Pesaro, Italy between June 21st and June 30th 2024 as well as other international events.


Please complete the following survey's to help us further the Basketball Ireland Masters programme:
