The 67th World Ploughing Contest will take place in Ratheniska, Co Laois, Ireland from 21 to 22 September, 2022. The crowd will include hundreds of thousands of spectators as well as 1 700 exhibitors.
World Ploughing Organisation general secretary Anna Marie McHugh said, “I am delighted to announce that 25 countries from Africa to Australia will be participating in this year’s World Contest in Ireland. The very best international ploughing competitors and their teams will be battling it out on Irish soil to become supreme world champions in September.”
The call came from the World Ploughing Board to find another country to host the event, which was originally due to take place in Russia. After weeks of meetings, the National Ploughing Association and the World Ploughing Organisation agreed that the global competition will take place alongside the Nationals in Ratheniska, Laois.
The National Ploughing Championships begin on 20 September, followed by the two-day World Contest. Visit npa.ie or call or email the NPA team on 059 8625125 and info@npa.ie to plan for your National Ploughing Championships experience and journey.
