Qualifiers

NCFFI clubs may represent Ireland at the World Championships. A qualifier will be held each year to select the team(s) and where funds are available the NCFFI will cover the FIPS-ed entry fee. In addition when running the event we collect from the participating teams €100 which is awarded to the qualifying club.

Affiliated clubs are invited to enter teams of 5 to take part in the Qualifiers and may submit more than one team. The event is fished to FIPSed rules and bait limits apply. Entry is €200 per team. €100 of the entry fee is awarded to the qualifying team, the rest paid out in pools. A €25 pegging/administration fee applies.

Any affiliated club may apply to take part. FIPS-ed rules allow for two Foreign Nationals – non-passport holders only on the team; all other members must hold a ROI/UK & Northern Ireland Passport.

The qualifiers to select the 2025 team will take place over the weekend of the 17th & 18th of August on Inniscarra Lake.
