Click on any entry to expand it and see details of venue, timings, organisers, etc. Please note that by choosing to play in any of these events, you are consenting to your name and photograph appearing in the results published on this website and other CBAI publications.
The calendar lists the events the CBAI is planning and those others (congresses etc) we have been notified about, and is updated to include 2025/26. If you are planning a congress or similar open competition in 2025/26 and it is not listed, please let us know and we will add it to the calendar.
Unless otherwise advised, start times for CBAI and IBU competitions will be 13:00 on Saturdays and 11:00 on Sundays, and entry fees will be €12.50 per person for single-session events, €25 per person for two-session events, and €40 per person for three-session events (€50 per person for certain IBU events). Saturday two-session events will have a long meal break (at least an hour) halfway through but Sunday two-session events may have a shorter break, so please prepare accordingly. The break times will depend on playing numbers, and will be at the TD’s discretion, so it may not be possible to provide specific timings in advance.

Event Details
Qualifiers for the national pairs finals to be held on 7/8 March 2026 in Ennistymon. Each region will run its own competition, so there will be different days, times, and venues – please consult your regional Secretary or website for the arrangements for your region. In each region there will, subject to numbers, be separate competitions for Masters, Intermediate As, and Intermediate Bs/Novices.
Note that if you are a member of two different regions, and the timings allow it, you may play in two different regional pairs competitions, but you may only attempt to qualify from one. In the absence of specific advice to the contrary, you will be deemed to have attempted to qualify from the FIRST event you play in; so if that is not your intention, you need to advise the relevant Regional Secretary of that fact BEFORE the beginning of the first event you play in.
