About teams.ie

Who we are

teams.ie is a passion project built by a small group of Irish sports fans who also happen to love technology. We are not a newsroom, a media company, or a broadcaster — we are hobbyists who got tired of bouncing between a dozen different apps and websites just to keep up with the sports we care about.

Between us, we follow GAA, soccer, rugby, golf, and more besides. We have strong opinions about the League of Ireland, follow Irish players in the Premier League, and know exactly what RTÉ is showing on Saturday afternoon. The problem was that no single place brought all of that together — filtered for Ireland, personalised to our specific interests, and covering all the sports we actually follow.

So we built one.

What we do

At its heart, teams.ie is about connecting the dots in Irish sports. A match does not exist in isolation — it has a build-up, a broadcast, a league context, a set of results that came before it, and news coverage from every angle. We pull all of that together in one place.

On any given day, teams.ie can tell you:

• What sports news broke this morning, across every sport you follow
• Which of your teams are playing in the next 48 hours
• Where to watch it — what channel, what time, in Ireland or the UK
• Where your team sits in the table right now

That kind of joined-up view is something even the biggest sports outlets struggle to provide, because they each cover their own corner of the sporting world. We cover yours.

The tech behind it

We are tech hobbyists first, so naturally we over-engineered this. teams.ie monitors over 100 RSS feeds from Irish and international sports publishers — RTÉ, BBC Sport, The Guardian, The 42, Irish Examiner, and many more — and indexes the headlines in real time. Fixtures are gathered from official league sources. TV listings come from broadcast rights data matched to Irish and UK channels. Live scores update automatically during matches.

Everything is linked together in our database: a news article about a Shamrock Rovers match is connected to the Shamrock Rovers team page, which is connected to the League of Ireland fixtures, which is connected to the TV listing for that game. When you follow a team, all of that flows through to your personalised feed automatically.

That linkage between data is the real value we provide. Individual pieces of information exist in many places — we create the connections between them so that following Irish sport feels joined-up rather than fragmented.

Why personalisation matters

Irish sports fans are wonderfully eclectic. The same person might follow Leinster rugby, their local GAA club, a Premier League side, and an Irish golfer on tour. No mainstream sports app is designed for that combination. Most are built around one sport, one league, or one country.

teams.ie lets you pick exactly the sports, teams, leagues, and countries you care about. Your feed shows what matters to you. Our weekly email digest covers only your sports. The TV guide filters to what you actually want to watch. It is a small thing, but it makes a big difference when you are trying to stay across a lot of different sporting worlds at once.

Get in touch

We are a small team and we genuinely want to hear from you — whether it is a sport we are not covering, a fixture we got wrong, a feature request, or just a hello. Email us any time at hello@teams.ie.
