Community Games

Cairn Community Games is an Irish independent voluntary organisation and National Governing Body providing opportunities for children and young people to grow and develop in a positive and healthy way while experiencing a wide range of sporting and cultural activities. The National Festivals are held over several weekends during the year, usually from May onwards. Children first take part in their Area, of which there are over 400, and then progress to county, provincial and ultimately the National Finals.

In January 2024 Cairn Homes was announced as the new title sponsor for Community Games, investing over 3 million euro over 4 years to help grow participation and strengthen community spirit and youth empowerment.

"Community Games can be quite proud of its immense achievements in a wide range of interests and, indeed, positive community developments. Community Games is a truly developing organisation spreading good-will and healthy involvement for the benefit of all." Joseph Connolly, Founder and Honorary Life Patron (1922 - 2008).
