Waterford, Limerick and Kerry will alternate as host locations for Rally Ireland if the proposed World Rally Championship bid is successful.

Motorsport Ireland are bidding to bring the WRC to Ireland in a minimum three-year deal, starting in 2025. President Aiden Harper said the process for funding from the Irish government had started.

Motorsport Ireland are asking for an investment of 15m euro over three years for a return of 300m euro.

Three locations – Limerick, Waterford and Tralee, in Kerry – were visited by Motorsport Ireland and WRC officials on Thursday and Friday. Harper said all three bids were “exceptional” and “inseparable” after inspection.

If funding and a place on the WRC calendar is secured, Motorsport Ireland would speak to the three locations about which order they would wish to host the WRC.
