Ardmore Cup Invitational Piping Competition 2025

The Ardmore Cup is a premier solo piping invitational event in Ardmore, Waterford, Ireland. In 2024 the event featured these ten top pipers: Alister Donaghy, Chris Earls, James Frazer, Bruce Gandy, Angus MacColl, Willie McCallum, Connor Sinclair, James Stone, Alen Tully, and Scott Wallace. Judges are David Caldwell, Tim Farrelly, and John Wilson. This contest is organised by Eric M. Stein who ran the SunBelt competition which took place in November in Orlando, Florida, and previously the Metro Cup.
There are two premier events, an MSR (competitors will submit three sets) and a Medley that must include one Irish tune.
The competition sponsor, RG Hardie, is donated a fantastic set of pipes that was auctioned to support the Ardmore Cup.
A freestyle piping event the night before The Ardmore Cup, was held at the Round Tower Hotel. More details on this event will be released soon.
