Our annual joint competition held in partnership with the Irish Powerlifting Federation.

On the weekend of the 17th-18th May Gainforth will play host to the most anticipated competition on the island of Ireland.

This is always an extremely popular event – the music will be loud and the lifts will be heavy! Records can’t be set at this competition but you will be able to post up a qualifying total for the Commonwealth Powerlifting Championships and the Home Nations Championships.
