List of Irish European Youth Championships Medallists

Team Ireland returns to the European Youth stage this week.

The Class of 2204 will contest a prestigious tournament with a history of making stars in Porec, Croatia, between April 4 and 15.

The IABA are confident the 15-strong team has medals in them but it may prove difficult to eclipse the record-breaking performance of the Class of 2022.

Irish boxers won eight medals in total, three gold, a silver, and four bronze in a great week for amateur Irish boxing in Sofia, Bulgaria in 2022.

That medal haul brought Ireland’s Euro Youth medal total to 50 and moved the number of Irish gold medals at Youth European level to 10.

Irish boxing legend Barry McGuigan, world title challenger Jason Quigley and Olympians Michaela Walsh and Cathal O’Grady are all on the list alongside some now well-known names.
