Special Olympics Ulster

Special Olympics Ireland offers a year-round sports training and competition programme for children and adults with a learning disability in a variety of Olympic type sports. By offering a range of events in each sport an opportunity is provided for all athletes, irrespective of their ability, to participate at their own level.

Due to restructuring of Special Olympics Ireland in line with the new strategy 2004-2007, from September 2004, Special Olympics Ulster comprises of existing counties, Antrim, Armagh, Derry, Down, Fermanagh and Tyrone and welcomed three new counties into the programme. Donegal Special Olympics will join from Special Olympics Connaught and counties Monaghan and Cavan joined from Special Olympics Leinster. This restructuring will ensure that new and existing athletes will have access to more Special Olympics Ireland training and competition opportunities.
