ROLL OF HONOUR – Ireland’s European Championship Medal Record
Team Ireland returns to continental action today as the European Championships glove off in Belgrade, Serbia.
The 11-strong team will be looking to add to the 71 medal total and will target breaking the 20 gold mark over the coming weeks.
Last time out in the Women’s European Championships Team Ireland topped the table with seven medals, with Kellie Harrington, Aoife O’Rourke and Amy Broadhurst winning gold.
Ireland first medaled at the tournament in 1939 when Jimmy Ingle, Paddy Dowdall and Charles Evenden all stood on the podium at the National Stadium.
Team Ireland’s most successful tournament prior to Budva in 2022 played out in Russia in 2010 when Paddy Barnes, Tyrone McCullagh, Kenneth Egan, Darren O’Neill and Eric Donovan all medalled.
Katie Taylor is by far Ireland’s most successful continental battler having stood on the top of the podium six times.
