Calendar of Events
Click on any entry to expand it and see details of venue, timings, organisers, etc.
Given that the timing of a return to in-person bridge remains unclear, the only events for 2020/21 currently scheduled are the virtual ones listed here, including several congresses (if you are planning to hold your congress online, please let us know and we will add it to the calendar) and the two Simultaneous Pairs weeks, which can take place online – IBU Simultaneous Pairs first week of November, and CBAI Simultaneous Pairs first week of February. If your club hasn’t taken part before and would like to, please contact us on (01) 4929666.
If one of our annual events is not listed here, then there are as yet no definite plans to hold it this season. And please note that the virtual events are being held essentially for entertainment purposes only; Masterpoints will be awarded, but national titles (where relevant) and monetary prizes will not.

Event Details
IBU All-Ireland Open (Burke Trophy) & Intermediate (O’Connor Trophy) Teams Championships – entries online.
Normally there is a requirement that all four members of a team must be eligible to represent a single county or administrative district. Given the current circumstances, it has been decided to waive this requirement, for this season only, so that the competition is effect open entry for 2021; in keeping with the spirit of the events, however, it has been decided to limit entry strictly to players eligible to represent either the CBAI or the NIBU, so entries including a participant from overseas with no Irish connection will not be accepted.
The events will consist of three sessions, as follows: Saturday 13:00-16:30, Saturday 18:00-21:30, and Sunday 11:00-14:30. There may still be some issues with long teams events on BBO. If so, it may be necessary to segment the field into A and B Finals for the third session on the basis of the Saturday results, as was done recently for the Holmes Wilson. We will clarify this matter before the events if we can do so.
As with all our virtual events this season, this one will be played essentially for recreation; Masterpoints will be awarded, but national titles (where relevant) and monetary prizes will not.
