Our Vision
equal opportunity in sport regardless of gender
Her Sport is the voice of women’s sport in Ireland.
Founded in 2018, we were built to challenge the way sport is seen, experienced and valued for girls and women.
Because while sport has the power to shape confidence, leadership and belonging, too many girls are still pushed out before they have the chance to realise that potential.
Girls grow up in environments where they see less coverage, fewer role models, and limited support. Over time, that shapes how they see themselves, where they feel they belong and whether they believe sport is for them.
The result is not only fewer girls staying in sport, but fewer women progressing into leadership, visibility and influence within it.
We exist to change that.
Through visibility, education, research and advocacy, we are building a system that supports girls and women at every stage of their journey in sport.
We tell the stories that deserve to be seen.
We deliver the education that builds confidence and knowledge.
We generate the research that informs better decisions.
And we advocate for the change needed to create more inclusive, supportive environments.
Our work is grounded in a simple belief: when girls see themselves in sport, they are far more likely to stay.
Because sport does more than build athletes. It builds people, leaders and communities.
And when more girls stay in sport, the impact extends far beyond the pitch.
Why
We
Exist.

The Confidence Gap
87% of girls in Ireland do not have high body self-esteem, one of the lowest rates globally.
