Background
Novellus Finance will continue its partnership with the Women’s Irish Challenge as the tournament returns for its second edition at Malahide Golf Club. The event is scheduled to take place in July 2026 and will once again bring elite women’s golf to North Dublin.
The Women’s Irish Challenge first launched in 2025 as Ireland’s opening tournament on the LET Access Series. It provides an important pathway for emerging professional women golfers who aim to progress to the Ladies European Tour. The event is designed to support talent development and give players international exposure at an early stage of their careers.
The first edition of the tournament featured more than 100 players competing in a 54-hole stroke play format. It received strong appreciation for its organisation, atmosphere, and support from the local community. Malahide Golf Club will once again host the competition, offering a championship parkland course for players and spectators.
Novellus Finance has supported professional golf in recent years, with a strong focus on the women’s game. The company said its continued involvement reflects growing momentum behind the tournament and its goal of becoming a key event in the Irish golfing calendar.
Organisers said the 2026 edition will aim to build on the success of the first event. They added that the tournament will strengthen its role as a stepping stone for international women golfers and help inspire young players across Ireland to take up the sport.
The event continues to highlight rising opportunities in women’s golf and the growing support for female athletes in professional sport.
