Charity Lords of the Ring is an Irish reality television competition, broadcast on RTÉ One. Presented by Lucy Kennedy and ex-boxer Barry McGuigan, the four-part series follows ten personalities compete for their charity of choice, in the field of boxing.

Charity Lords of the Ring is broadcast over four episodes on 15 August, 18 August, 19 August and 22 August 2009.[2] It is produced by Screentime ShinAwil and sponsored by Sona Vitamins.[2][3] Over €100,000 is anticipated to be donated to the charities involved,[4] with €26,000 going to the winner.[5] The show marks the television production debut of Brian Ormond.[6] One of the contestants left the show before broadcasts began due to a potentially life-threatening swelling to the brain.

The show's finalists were Paul Martin and Sean Gallagher.[7] The final was attended by several females including socialite and model Rosanna Davison, pop singer, television personality, and sometime glamour model Michelle Heaton as well as Pippa O'Connor and Tara Sinnott.[8][9] Seán Gallagher, despite having only partial eyesight,[9] won the series.[5]
