Competitions

The Comhaltas competitions are at the heart of the Fleadh experience. The standard at these sessions is about as good as it gets. With hundreds of competitive categories, from céilí bands to solo instruments and sean-nós dancing and lilting, they showcase the very best in traditional music, song, dance, and storytelling. Competitors of all ages and from all over the world take part, progressing to these All-Ireland titles from county and provincial qualifiers. 

More details of the competition programme will be shared in 2026.
