SISK BECOMES OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF NETBALL IRELAND’S WOMEN’S TEAM

Sisk is proud to announce a partnership with Netball Ireland to sponsor its international women’s team. This collaboration reflects Sisk’s commitment to empowering women and supporting greater representation across both sport and the construction industry.

This partnership arrives as the players prepare for two major upcoming tournaments: the Netball World Cup Qualifiers (Europe) in Scotland in September 2026, followed by the Singapore Nations Cup in November 2026.

Sisk’s investment into the team will provide financial support, enabling athletes to focus on training, performance and the continued development of netball throughout Ireland. As part of the sponsorship, the team will wear Sisk‑branded uniforms at their upcoming international tournaments that Ireland will be competing in. In Ireland, there are over 3,000 registered members participating in the sport.

The Ireland women’s team nicknamed ‘The Emeralds’ are a dedicated group of players who balance full‑time work or study with competing at the highest level, often self‑funding their international commitments.

Lynette Wall, Netball Ireland President said: “Netball Ireland is thrilled to announce this sponsorship deal with Sisk, a company committed to empowering women in the construction industry. This partnership marks a significant step forward in our mission to elevate women’s sports in Ireland and cultivate the next generation of leaders and team players.
