Dublin Royal Convention Centre - Friday 3rd July 2026

Clash of the Companies is Ireland’s only team building event that brings hundreds of people from all sectors of business together to compete against each other with the ultimate goal of raising funds for sick children in Ireland.

It is a unique challenge that brings the business community together in a fun yet competitive atmosphere, all while raising vital funds for sick children and their families.

Starting in the Dublin Royal Convention Centre, you and your team will use our custom app to embark on a digital treasure hunt around Dublin city, solving clues and completing challenges in a race to earn as many points as possible and be crowned Clash of the Companies champions for 2026!

Registration is now open for Clash of the Companies 2026, and we’re looking forward to welcoming new and familiar faces to the Dublin Royal Convention Centre on Friday 3rd July!

This year’s Trail Theme is Dublin, so why not get your team to dress up in Dublin colours, as heroes or icons of Dublin, be they historical, musical, political, sportstars, writers, from the acting fraternity or just well known characters. There will be prizes on the day for the best dressed. Get your creativity flowing!

If you have any questions about Clash of the Companies 2026, please email clash@childrenshealth.ie and we’ll be happy to help.

Companies are invited to enter teams comprising a maximum of eight people and are welcome to enter multiple teams. The total fee per team is €1,500 which will include participation on the day and food after the event.

Your company can choose to pay the registration fee in full, your team can fundraise in full, or you can split the cost as part registration fee, part fundraising.

When you complete the registration form, you will be directed to set up a fundraising page for your team. We would encourage all teams to fundraise in some shape or form, regardless of your payment method and get into the spirit of why we’re all taking part in Clash of the Companies – to raise vital funds to support sick children in hospital. Fundraising is a great way to kickstart your teambuilding experience in advance of the event, and we’ll even have spot prizes for the best fundraisers on the day!

Teams will gather at the event venue where they will receive instructions for the challenge. They will then take to the streets of Dublin and have two hours to solve all the clues and complete group challenges. Once the course is completed, teams will return to the venue for games and entertainment, with some well-deserved food and drink before the results and prize winners are announced.

Closing date

Closing date for registration of teams is Friday 12th June and payment in full is due by the 26th June. Please note that all teams must have paid a minimum of €500 by 12th June which will become non refundable if the team pulls out.

Saoirse’s Story

Saoirse McDonagh Davis, born in January 2015, was a healthy baby until she developed a serious kidney infection at just over a year old. Persistent blood in her urine prompted further investigation, and in 2018 a biopsy confirmed she had the same hereditary kidney condition as her father, Gary. Over the following years her kidney function gradually declined despite careful management, and in 2025 she began haemodialysis after a prolonged hospital admission.

Since then, Saoirse has been travelling from County Clare to Temple Street three times a week for treatment, while navigating the emotional and practical challenges of illness within a family already familiar with dialysis. Throughout it all, Saoirse has maintained her bright spirit, and she is now officially on the deceased donor transplant list as the family waits for the life-changing call.
