Dublin, Ireland - 7 August 2025 - Ireland Esports Leagues today officially launches, uniting students, professionals and schools across the island into one dynamic competitive pathway - powered by Nativz Gaming.
In a historic first for Irish esports, a single platform will connect grassroots players across schools, universities and into the workplace. This initiative will build sustainable, community-first esports experiences across the island.
Ireland Esports Collegiate Series enters its 8th edition this October, representing 16 universities and colleges.
Company Series pilot tournament successfully concluded in June and returns for Season 1 in September 2025.
Collegiate Advisory Committee formed to deepen collaboration with senior university stakeholders.
New Schools Series designed to support development of skills needed to succeed in an increasingly technology-driven society.
Growing collaborations with Ireland’s National Esports Communities will build on existing relationships.
This is a milestone moment for esports on the island of Ireland. For the first time ever, we’ve built a national structure that connects students, schools, educators and professionals — not just as players, but as future coaches, creators, analysts and leaders.
This is the next logical step for a scene that’s been steadily growing, and with the people and experience we’ve brought together, we’re best placed to do the job properly. We’ve delivered the biggest competitions on the island — now we’re uniting them to build something even more impactful.
The goal of the project is to build a competitive structure whilst also telling the cultural story and growing the talent pipeline for Irish esports—from schools to society. Ireland Esports Leagues will do this by connecting players across every stage of life, delivering meaningful competitions, developing talent and continuing to grow the ecosystem from the ground up — all while working alongside and supporting Ireland’s national esports communities.
