About Us
Our Mission is to provide opportunities for all to participate in lacrosse, across the island of Ireland and beyond, from beginner to elite.
In pursuit of this mission, Ireland Lacrosse works through Ireland Lacrosse North America, a subsidiary entity registered as a not-for-profit (501c3) organization in the USA, and with the Irish Lacrosse Foundation (also based in the USA), to raise awareness of our programmes, develop lacrosse in Ireland, and generate support for our national teams.
Ireland Lacrosse is also a member of the:
- European Lacrosse Federation (europeanlacrosse.org) – European governing body
- World Lacrosse (formerly the Federation of International Lacrosse) (https://worldlacrosse.sport) – World governing body
- Federation of Irish Sport (http://www.irishsport.ie/)
