The 2025 roll call of Irish sporting heroes is long and notable for the variety of sports that saw stunning feats of excellence.
Golfing great Rory McIlroy made history at The Masters; a new athletics star was born in Kate O’Connor; and Troy Parrott made football fans of us all with his stellar performance against Hungary to keep our World Cup dreams alive.
And there were so many more sporting moments – including surprise retirements – throughout the year that set records and pulses racing.
Irish Times sports writers Malachy Clerkin and Muireann Duffy give their sporting highlights from 2025.
Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by John Casey.
