Club Hub

Fencing is a vibrant community of players, clubs, coaches and volunteers who succeed in their goals in the sport and who play an active role in the Fencing community, which is committed to high standards and a welcoming, and sociable approach.

Part of our vision is to foster club development by enhancing the support available to existing club while also providing support for the growth of fencing by developing an infrastructure for new fencing clubs in Ireland.
