TG4 to Broadcast 7 Days of Live Handball for the 2024 World 4-Wall Championships

TG4 is thrilled to announce seven days of live handball coverage for the highly anticipated 2024 oneills.com World 4-Wall Championships. From Monday, October 28th, viewers can tune in to the Spórt TG4 YouTube page for a full week of thrilling handball action. The championships will take place from October 26th to November 3rd across multiple venues in Leinster, with the Senior Finals scheduled for Sunday, November 3rd at the National Handball Centre in Croke Park.

The 2024 World 4-Wall Championship is set to be the largest standalone 4-wall event ever hosted, featuring 1,675 entries and 1,900 games scheduled from u11 to the elite open players. Matches will take place across 25 courts in venues including Kilkenny, Carlow, Laois, Offaly, Kildare, Wicklow, and Wexford. Elite players from five countries—USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Ireland—will compete, with reigning champions Martin Mulkerrins (Galway) returning to defend his title.

TG4’s live coverage will come from the Croke Park showing action from the showcourt as well as courts 2 and 3 court each day. We anticipate more than 100 hours of live handball will be shown over the course of the 7 days of action, culminating in the Open Finals on Sunday the November 3rd.

David Britton, Head of GAA Handball, said: "GAA Handball are delighted to be hosting our second World Championship in our centenary year as a member of the GAA family. With just short of 1700 entries, the 4-Wall World Championships promises to be another fantastic festival of handball, which will further help to showcase our vibrant and thriving sport. GAA Handball would like to thank Rónán Ó Coisdealbha, Shane Walsh, and all at TG4 for their ongoing support of our wonderful game."

Rónán Ó Coisdealbha, Head of TG4 Spórt, said: "The 2024 Wallball World Championship in August was a resounding success, with record-breaking viewership numbers on TG4. The growing interest in GAA Handball is evident, and our collaboration with GAA Handball has helped in introducing this dynamic sport to a broader audience. We are excited to continue this with our coverage of the 4-Wall World Championships and expect to engage even more viewers as we showcase another thrilling week of world-class handball."
