The Boyle name is synonymous with Irish rallying, widely respected for its longstanding commitment to and passion for motorsport both in Ireland and internationally. Declan Boyle, alongside his sons Michael Boyle and Matthew Boyle, has competed at the highest levels for many years, achieving notable success in both the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship and the Irish National Rally Championship.

Beyond motorsport, the Boyle family has built an impressive international hospitality business. In 2017, they acquired their first pub in Donegal Town, laying the foundation for what has since become a rapidly expanding brand across Ireland, the United Kingdom, Spain, and the United Arab Emirates.

McCafferty’s Pubs, rooted in that original Donegal Town establishment, have grown into a globally recognised name celebrated for delivering authentic Irish atmospheres, live traditional music, and world-class sports viewing. Today, the brand encompasses more than 16 locations worldwide, each reflecting the warmth and character of a traditional Irish pub.

A significant milestone in their journey came when their Dubai venue at Jumeirah Village Circle was officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the largest Irish bar in the world, spanning 29,831 square feet and featuring 148 taps. This achievement highlights the family’s ambition, vision, and dedication, as well as the invaluable contribution of their exceptional team.

Despite their international growth, the brand remains deeply connected to its roots. The original McCafferty’s Bar in Donegal Town continues to embody the heritage and community spirit that inspired its success, drawing on the rich tradition of the local pub scene.

It is with sincere appreciation that we acknowledge the Boyle family and McCafferty’s Pubs for their continued support, guidance, and commitment as our main sponsor for the season ahead.
