Toyota has announced a new partnership with Special Olympics Ireland, becoming one of the organisation’s Premier Sponsors until May 2028, writes Trish Whelan. The partnership will see Toyota Ireland support Special Olympics Ireland at both national and local levels. Toyota Ireland has sponsored Special Olympics Ireland since 2003.
The partnership will support the organisation’s mission to create inclusive communities where people with intellectual disabilities can participate, contribute, and thrive through sport.
The Special Olympics Ireland Summer Games 2026 take place from 18-21 June with more than 1,200 athletes across 12 sports taking part.
Toyota’s 41 dealer network will play a central role in bringing the partnership to life celebrating athletes in their communities, encouraging volunteering, and supporting local clubs. The scale and strength of the network ensures that support for Special Olympics is felt in towns, cities, and communities right across the country.
