Irish Cup Tasters Championship ‘26

We’re delighted to announce the Irish Cup Tasters Championship 2026 (ICTC) will take place at IFEX Exhibition 2026 in the Eikon Exhibition Centre, Lisburn on Tuesday 24th February.

We can’t wait to see Ireland’s top coffee professionals and tasters go slurp for slurp and crown a champion who will go on to represent Ireland at the World Championships in Bangkok.

Cup Tasters is one of the most instant, fun and engaging competitions and is perfect competition for new would-be competitors and anyone who might feel a little too nervous to present/deliver a routine to a set of judges. The dedication and skill it takes to win has been so well demonstrated, by World Cup Tasters & three-time Irish Cup Tasters Champion, Daniel Horbat. Check out this video on the SCA Ireland Instagram where Daniel talks about his preparation for Cup Tasters.
