Olympic Handball Ireland

We’re working on something special for later this year… and we want you to be part of it.

To celebrate OHI’s 50th birthday, we’re calling on our community to dig into the archives and share your photos, videos, and memories with us.

We’re talking:
→ Couples who met through handball
→ Then vs now
→ Courtside moments
→ Stories through the decades
→ How you got into the sport
→ Local clubs, counties, and communities
→ Young players shaping the future
→ The international side of our game
→ The friendships, the people, the belonging

We know the best stories are in the minds and hearts of our community, and we want to dig them out for this special anniversary.

Share your stories by emailing [email protected].

A strong opportunity to stay connected with the international game and continue developing across all levels.

Strong women. Strong sport. Strong presence in Northern Ireland.

We’ve been at the Impact Players Leadership Conference 2026 at ICC Belfast, connecting with ambitious women across business and sport.

From meeting council members and NGBs to hosting our own stand, it’s been all about growing the game and building new relationships.

If you stopped by, you might’ve taken a shot at our handball net… or met some of the brilliant women driving handball forward in Ireland 👏

We're a new Director of Finance (Voluntary) to join our Board of Directors 💚
