Welcome to the Limerick Triathlon Club

The Home of Triathlon in the Mid-West

One of Ireland’s oldest and most respected triathlon clubs, Limerick Tri has been shaping the sport since the very beginning. We’re a community of triathletes who train, race, volunteer, and support one another—at every level.

Our mission is simple: to promote and grow the sport of triathlon in the Midwest of Ireland, supporting athletes of all abilities through training, racing, and community.

Whether you’re preparing for your very first event, signing up for a Try-a-Tri or a Sprint, chasing an Olympic-distance PB, or going all in for Ironman, we’ve got the training, structure, and support to help you get there.
