SportLoMo is proud to confirm the renewal of its long-standing partnership with the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU), signing a new five-year contract that extends the relationship through to July 2030.
The IRFU manages the full administration of its domestic game on the SportLoMo platform — supporting all aspects of the sport, from National, Provincial and Club level including grassroots participation. This renewal marks ten years of close collaboration with the IRFU and all four provinces in supporting the rugby community across the island of Ireland.
Colin McEntee, IRFU Director of Rugby Development, said:
“Technology plays a central role in how we administer and grow the game across the country, and SportLoMo has been a trusted partner in that journey for the past decade. Their platform helps us to manage the sport more efficiently and effectively. We are pleased to renew this partnership and look forward to building on what we have achieved together, ensuring that players, coaches, referees, and volunteers continue to benefit from a system designed around the needs of Irish Rugby.”
Seamus Kyne, CEO of SportLoMo, said:
“We are delighted with the continued confidence the IRFU has placed in both our platform and our team. This renewed five-year agreement is a strong endorsement — not only of the technology we’ve built, but of the tangible results we’ve delivered together across all levels of Irish rugby. The IRFU is recognised as one of the best-run sports organisations in the country, and this renewal is a strong endorsement of the role our platform and the SportLoMo team play in supporting their day-to-day operations across all levels of the game.”
As part of the ongoing evolution of the platform, SportLoMo has launched a new Team Management App designed to enhance communication between clubs, coaches and players. The app provides real-time updates from the platform on competition data, giving users instant access to fixtures, results and team information.
In addition, a significant number of IRFU clubs have adopted SportLoMo’s event registration and membership modules, which are available free of charge to all affiliated clubs. Many clubs choose to collect membership fees directly through the system as part of the registration process —helping to streamline administration and receive fees upfront.
The IRFU uses the following integrated modules:
• Full membership registration, with many of its clubs using the payment infrastructure
• Competition and fixture management, including electronic team sheets and referee assignments
• Referee and coach qualification tracking
• Safeguarding, vetting, and background checks
• Player injury and concussion reporting
• Club affiliation and compliance workflows
• Centralised document management
The SportLoMo team looks forward to continuing our strong partnership with the rugby community in Ireland —and to supporting our growing base of international rugby clients, including Rugby Canada, Rugby Europe and its 32 member nations.
