About UCC Hockey

UCC Hockey Club is a warm and welcoming club which caters for all abilities. We are the oldest hockey club in Munster, founded in 1910, and each year we welcome enthusiastic freshers to the club.

The club has 4 competitive women's teams and one men's team, which compete in Munster Senior Leagues and Cups, as well as the Irish Senior and Junior Cup. The women's 1st team will compete in the Irish National League Division 1 for the first time in 2024/25. Each team trains twice a week on our water-based pitch in the Mardyke.

We also cater to the social hockey player with a weekly midweek session and the opportunity to play in the Mixed Hockey League run by Student Sport Ireland. In recent years, we’ve had several scholarship players who have been involved in the Irish Women’s Hockey pathway, playing on Irish U18 and U21 teams. We are incredibly proud of all our Munster and Irish representatives here in UCC Hockey.

Off the field, we host a wide range of social events, with club nights out held frequently throughout the year. The annual Christmas Party and Hockey Ball are the social highlights of the year.

We are constantly looking to recruit new players and pride ourselves on being extremely inclusive and welcoming to all. We would encourage anyone interested to contact us at hockey@uccclubs.ie, or on any of our social media accounts: Instagram @ucc_hockey and X @ucchockeyclub. We will also be present at Clubs Day with a sign-up sheet and will be happy to answer any questions.
