ForeFront Sports, organisers of the Hiscox Padel Irish Open, are delighted to announce that Benetti Menswear has signed on as an Official Co-Sponsor for the 2026 edition of the event. The tournament, elevated this year to FIP Silver status, will take place in Dublin from July 15–19, 2026.
Benetti’s return for a second year reflects the growing stature of the event and the rapidly expanding profile of padel across Ireland. Having been part of the inaugural 2025 tournament in Limerick, Benetti once again takes its place as a key commercial partner as the Hiscox Padel Irish Open grows in scale, ambition, and international reach.
Speaking on the renewed partnership, Vincent Nally, Benetti Menswear said:
“We’re proud to continue our partnership with the Hiscox Padel Irish Open as a leading co-sponsor for 2026. The energy, ambition and growing popularity of padel aligns naturally with the Benetti brand, and we’re excited to be part of the tournament’s next chapter at its new Dublin venue.”
Cian Brangan, CEO of ForeFront Sports, said:
“Welcoming Benetti back for a second year is a real statement of intent, both for the growth of this event and for padel in Ireland more broadly. Their continued support helps us raise the bar in everything we do, from the on-court experience to the wider event atmosphere. Benetti is a brand that embodies style and quality, and we’re proud to have them alongside us as we take the Hiscox Padel Irish Open to Dublin and to a new level on the international calendar.”
The 2026 Hiscox Padel Irish Open will bring together leading international and Irish players across five days of world-class competition, with the FIP Silver designation cementing the event’s growing reputation on the global padel circuit.
