The Irish Canoe Union, known as Canoeing Ireland since 2012,[3] is the governing body for paddlesports (canoeing and kayaking) in the Republic of Ireland.[4] It has been affiliated with the Olympic Federation of Ireland since 1964.[5] It is a member of the International Canoe Federation.[6]
Athletes have represented the union at the 1972 Summer Olympics[7] for kayaking,[8] and 1992 Olympics for Canadian canoeing.[9] Canoeing in Northern Ireland is regulated by the Canoe Association of Northern Ireland, a part of British Canoeing, but Northern Irish athletes may freely choose to represent Ireland at International level.[10]
The union is funded through membership fees, sponsorship, and government grants through Sport Ireland.[4] The organisation is led by a president,[6] and chief executive officer.[11][12]
