Galway Races

Ireland’s biggest horse racing festival takes place this week, with seven days of action from Monday to Sunday. All but the final day’s racing will be shown on either RTÉ or TG4. There are 49 races spread throughout the week with the highlight being the famous Galway Plate on Wednesday evening. – Monday-Sunday, RTÉ & TG4

Track Cycling

To be held every four years, the UCI Cycling World Championships brings together various disciplines of cycling into one event. Glasgow is the venue for the inaugural edition, with venues around the city hosting events, including the Track Cycling World Championships at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome. – Aug 3rd-13th, Eurosport & BBC

Camogie

The county with the most All-Ireland senior championship titles plays a county with none in this season’s decider. Cork will be hot favourites to claim their 29th crown when they meet Waterford at Croke Park. It would be a fairy-tale for Waterford if they claim the O’Duffy Cup, though they have already appeared in one final – they were beaten by Antrim in 1945, despite the final being played in Cappoquin, Co Waterford. – Sunday, RTÉ 2
