All-Ireland Schools Finals 2025: Results & Congratulations

Since October last year, schools from across the country have been battling it out in one of the largest handball competitions on the national calendar. After months of matches, fierce regional contests and standout performances, the journey culminated in Dublin on Wednesday, April 9th, with the All-Ireland Schools Finals 2025.

Held at the National Indoor Arena, this year’s Finals brought together 28 of the top primary and secondary school teams from three provinces. With over 400 teams participating in the wider competition since autumn, this was the final chapter in an epic season of school handball.
