Hiscox confirmed as title sponsor of 2026 Irish Padel Open at new Dublin venue

Specialist insurer Hiscox has been confirmed as title sponsor of the 2026 Hiscox Padel Irish Open, backing an expanded edition of the tournament that moves to Star Padel at St Mary's College Rugby Club in Templeogue, Dublin, building on the success of last year's inaugural event.

Business Eye reported that the event, organised by ForeFront Sports and the Padel Federation of Ireland, again forms part of the Cupra FIP Tour, the International Padel Federation's global circuit, with the 2026 edition carrying a higher ranking than last year and expected to attract a stronger field of international and Irish players.

The tournament runs from prequalification rounds on 13 to 18 July through to the grand final on 19 July. A dedicated Hiscox Village will be introduced this year, featuring food, entertainment and family activities alongside the on-court competition, expanding the overall spectator experience.

Richard O'Dwyer, managing director of Hiscox Ireland, said the company is proud to continue as title sponsor as the tournament returns in 2026, noting that the event represents a step forward in both scale and ambition, and that the partnership reflects Hiscox's values of performance, resilience and progress in the same way it supports ambitious Irish businesses as they grow and navigate an increasingly complex risk environment.

Naomi Nicholl, CEO and president of the Padel Federation of Ireland, said the organisation is absolutely delighted that the Hiscox Padel Irish Open is coming to St Mary's College RFC, acknowledging the instrumental role of ForeFront Group and Hiscox in bringing the event to life.
