Corrib Oil has announced that it has renewed its title sponsorship of the 2026 Galway International Rally.
Now a decade-long partnership, this renewal reaffirms this successful partnership between Corrib Oil and Galway Motor Club, which began in 2016. Next year’s Galway International Rally is scheduled to take place from January 31 to February 1.
After the cancellation of the 2025 event due to damage caused by Storm Eowyn, organisers have confirmed that the route originally planned for last year will be carried forward to 2026. The rally will feature fifteen competitive stages, with Saturday’s action concentrated around Headford and Tuam (three stages run three times ), and Sunday’s stages taking place in the Monivea area (three stages run twice ).
The service area will be based at Galway Airport, with scrutiny and Parc Ferme located at Galway Racecourse. The rally will also serve as the opening round of the 2026 NAPA Autoparts Irish Tarmac Rally Championship, setting the tone for what promises to be an exciting season of Irish rallying.
“We are delighted to welcome Corrib Oil back as title sponsor,” said Mark Parsons, Clerk of the Course for the Corrib Oil Galway International Rally.
“Their ongoing support has been vital to the success and sustainability of this event, and we’re looking forward to delivering a standout rally for competitors and fans alike.”
Phillip Monks, Marketing Officer at Corrib Oil said that the Galway International Rally is a “flagship event in Irish motorsport” and holds a “special place” in the company’s heart.
“We are deeply committed to backing local initiatives that bring energy, tourism and economic impact to our region,” he added.
Further updates such as entry details, spectator information, and road closures, will be announced in the coming weeks.
