The calendar has been released for the 2025/26 squash season in Ireland, with Conor Moran and Hannah Craig set to defend their Senior National titles at Fitzwilliam on February 6th-8th.
Moran, the PSA squash tour’s current 170th rank, defeated top Irish seed Sam Buckley, the PSA’s 120th rank, in a five-game thriller in the 2025 final five months ago.
Presently ranked 62nd on the PSA women’s list, Craig secured a straight-game victory over Breanne Flynn, the No.141 PSA player, in her final.
Meanwhile, the PSA Irish Open, where the 2025 highlight was Moran’s 3-1 men’s section win over Jeremias Azana, the Argentinian ranked 76th by the PSA, will again take place at Fitzwilliam next May from the 19th to the 23rd.
Melvil Scianimanico of France (placed 62nd on the PSA list) and Tesni Murphy of Wales (the PSA No.21) were crowned champions at the Open sponsored by Cannon Kirk Gillenmarkets.
The early part of the new season features a PSA Satellite men’s tournament on August 9th-10th and a women’s event on September 4th-6th, both hosted by Fitzwilliam.
The Dublin club is also the venue for the All-Ireland Club finals on May 9th, with the Senior Interprovincials booked in at a Munster venue on March 14th-15th, two weeks earlier in the calendar than in 2024/25. The Five Nations has also moved forward by a week to April 10th-12th to avoid Easter.
Elsewhere, the Irish Masters Nationals will take place at Fitzwilliam on February 27th-28th. Before that, the Leinster Masters Open has moved to Novvember 7th-8th, the Connacht Masters Open to December 5th-6th and the Ulster Masters Open to January 30th-31st.
The Junior Nationals are scheduled for Cork on February 13th-15th, the Junior Interprovincials have moved to March 7th-8th (they were held in April in 2024/25), and the Munster Junior Open has moved to November 29th-30th.
On the club front, the Mount Pleasant Open has moved back a week in the calendar to January 17th-18th.
