Irish Cup Tasters Championship ‘25

We’re delighted to announce the Irish Cup Tasters 2025 (ICTC) will take place at Dublin Coffee Festival in the RDS Industries Hall, Dublin on 12th & 13th April 2025.

As if we couldn’t be more excited for Ireland’s biggest coffee party of the year, we can’t wait to see Ireland’s top coffee professionals and tasters go slurp for slurp and crown a champion who will go on to represent Ireland at the World Championships in Geneva.

Cup Tasters is one of the most instant, fun and engaging competitions and is perfect competition for new would-be competitors and anyone who might feel a little too nervous to present/deliver a routine to a set of judges. The dedication and skill it takes to win has been so well demonstrated, by World Cup Tasters & three-time Irish Cup Tasters Champion, Daniel Horbat. Check out this video on the SCA Ireland Instagram where Daniel talks about his preparation for Cup Tasters.

As well as a big shout out to our hosts, Dublin Coffee Festival. Support from these companies and the people behind them make these competitions all possible and we couldn’t do it without them.
