Widely referred to as “the Ploughing Match” or simply “the Ploughing” this is rural Ireland’s biggest annual event by far.

Nominally a contest pitting the skills of international ploughmen against each other it is also a massive trade show, with livestock and machinery exhibitions, trade stalls, craft stalls, vintage motors and even fashion shows, home entertainment, interior design and art exhibitions. It’s difficult to convey how large and diverse this occasion is.

The National Ploughing Championships (NPC) will return to Ratheniska in 2022, and will take place from September 20th to 22nd. We also hope for a return to the Ploughing Championships, as we know it, after the behind closed door event of 2021. 

Innovation Arena

The Netherlands embassy in Ireland have previously participated in the NPC through Enterprise Ireland’s Innovation arena with a Dutch Agri-Food Innovation Booth, where Dutch Agri-Food startups had the opportunity to present their ideas and innovations. 
The NPA & Enterprise Ireland Innovation Arena puts inventions and innovations on show to the world and helps establish their success by introducing them to the marketplace and facilitating networks that will help them take steps towards achieving commercial success. We’ve seen a number of individuals and companies launch new products and innovations at the NPC Innovation Arena who have gone on to achieve global success. The NPA & Enterprise Ireland Innovation Arena is the ideal place to demonstrate ground-breaking developments, whether they are back-yard inventions or professional innovations, to thousands of visitors. 

Interested in participating?

The Netherlands embassy in Dublin is looking for Dutch Agri-Food startups who may be interested in showcasing their inventions and innovations at this year’s NPC Innovation Arena. If you are an Agri-Food startup up and interested in travelling to Ireland in September to showcase your business, you can contact DUB-LNV@minbuza.nl for more details.
