VILLIERS on the North Circular Road is currently hosting the 2025 Irish Schoolboys Hockey Tournament, a premier fixture on the national calendar.
The tournament is a significant event in the schools’ hockey calendar, bringing together top-performing teams from all corners of Ireland.
Villiers has previously staged this tournament in 1987 and 2008, and is honoured to welcome the competition back to its grounds this week.
Over the course of three days, 16 teams will play multiple matches both in Villiers and partner venues, with dozens of competing, learning from one another, and forming lifelong sporting memories.
This exciting opportunity to host the tournament emphasises Villiers’ strong sporting tradition and the school’s ambition to deliver a world-class tournament experience for players, coaches, families and supporters alike.
Villiers have a long-standing commitment to hockey: it is one of the core sports offered to both boys and girls, across all age groups.
The school’s first-class facilities – and particularly the newly developed hockey pitch – make it an ideal setting for a national tournament of this scale.
