The 2025 Hurling for Cancer Research exhibition game will take place in Netwatch Cullen Park on Monday, August 18 at 7.30pm.

All proceeds from the Centra-backed event will support the Irish Cancer Society and the life-saving research they do. Launched in 2012 by horse racing legends Jim Bolger and Davy Russell, Hurling for Cancer Research is an annual fundraiser gathering an array of incredible sportspeople, past and present, and celebrities to raise money for the Irish Cancer Society.

Last year’s star-studded line-up included Kilkenny hurling hero TJ Reid, Kerry football star Paudie Clifford, Grand National-winning jockey Rachael Blackmore, Dublin duo Con O’Callaghan and Ciarán Kilkenny, Wexford camogie great Ursula Jacob and Mayo ladies football legend Cora Staunton.

The Irish Cancer Society is the largest charity investor in cancer research in Ireland, investing around €4 million each year across a wide range of projects. Since its inception, Hurling for Cancer has raised almost €1.7 million, making an incredible contribution to the Irish Cancer Society’s overall cancer research investment.

Centra will support the event financially this year, as well as through various pre-event and in-store activations in local Centra stores around Ireland.

Tickets are now available – for €10 for an adult ticket and €5 for children – in select Centra and SuperValu Ticket Agent stores and via www.hurlingforcancer.ie.
