NI’s leading coffee to go brand, Barista Bar, has announced an all-new sponsorship with Antrim Camogie. 

Barista Bar, which marked its 10-year anniversary last year, will be an official sponsor of the Antrim Minor Camogie girls’ team for 2026. The sponsorship will help support the county with the team’s kit, quality equipment and improving facilities.  

The sponsorship is part of Barista Bar’s ongoing commitment to giving back to the local community. 

Barista Bar coffee-to-go is widely available in over 460 SPAR, EUROSPAR, ViVO and ViVOXTRA stores across Northern Ireland, many of which are often the hub of local communities and Barista Bar aims to continue these relationships, being part of many local initiatives and providing sponsorships for a number of local events and clubs. 

Antrim Camogie is the governing body for Camogie in the county and currently supports 25 affiliated clubs, delivering participation and performance opportunities across urban and rural communities throughout Antrim. The organisation oversees player development pathways from grassroots through to county level and is underpinned by strong governance, volunteer leadership and a commitment to sustainable growth. 

Across its club network, Antrim Camogie supports over 5,000 registered participants, including players, coaches, officials and volunteers, highlighting the scale and reach of the sport within the county.  

Una Kelly, Chairperson at Antrim Camogie commented, “We are extremely grateful to Barista Bar for their support and sponsorship of our Antrim Minor Camogie team. The Barista Bar partnership makes a real and tangible difference, not only in providing resources for our players, but in showing young athletes that their commitment, effort and ambition are recognised and valued.  

“Partnerships like this are a critical component in sustaining and advancing our county, enabling us to invest in quality coaching, player welfare and development programmes. Barista Bar’s backing reflects a genuine investment in grassroots sport and the future of camogie in Antrim. We are proud to have them as partners on this journey.” 

Keavy O’Mahony-Truesdale, National Brand and Business Development Manager at Barista Bar commented, “Being rooted in community stores, it is so important to us at Barista Bar to continue to develop those relationships with shoppers, local community groups, charities and clubs. Investments such as this make a huge difference in grassroots sports and throughout local communities, as well as allowing us to give back to those who show us so much support. We can’t wait to cheer on the team from the sidelines!”
