What is the Grand Final?

Following the conclusion of the seven-leg regular season, the top eight teams in the Men’s and Women’s SVNS Standings assemble in the Spanish capital for a winner-takes-all event across three days from May 31 to June 2, where a podium finish could be act as the springboard for Olympic medal success later this summer.

The Ireland Men have been in consistently excellent form throughout the 2024 campaign with their highest ever overall finish of second, having been narrowly beaten to the League title by Argentina in Singapore earlier this month. The squad sees the return of Hugo Keenan and Andrew Smith who both featured on the circuit previously.

The Ireland Women finished seventh overall, the highlight of their campaign being the historic maiden title win in Perth back in January.

They have been drawn in Pool B for Madrid, alongside League runners-up Australia, Olympic hosts France, and Fiji. Anna McGann makes a welcome return from injury, while Béibhinn Parsons and Aoibheann Reilly are back following their stint in the Guinness Women’s Six Nations.
