Rugby Players Ireland Awards 2026
Last Wednesday, we were proud to support the Rugby Players Ireland Awards 2026, delivering a full suite of video production and event coverage for one of the most prestigious nights in Irish rugby.
Hosted at the Clayton Hotel Burlington Road, the awards brought together the very best of the game—current internationals, emerging talent and past legends—to celebrate a season marked by exceptional performances, including Ireland’s Triple Crown success.
We created and produced all video content for the event, delivering a cohesive visual narrative across every category. From nominee films to award reveals, our focus was on clarity, pace and emotional impact—ensuring each moment landed with the audience in the room.
Alongside this, we captured the full event using a multi-camera production setup, documenting the ceremony with a premium broadcast feel. Our team also conducted a series of interviews with past and present players, capturing authentic insights and reactions that extended the life of the event beyond the stage.
