Cairde Rás Tailteann is delighted to announce that O'Neills Spirit will return to the start line of the 2026 Rás Tailteann, marking a welcome comeback for one of the race's familiar teams after an absence last season.
The team has been a regular feature of Rás Tailteann in recent years but sat out the 2025 edition due to sponsorship challenges. Their return has been made possible through the arrival of O'Neills as title sponsor, allowing the team to once again take its place in Ireland's premier stage race. The 2026 squad is built predominantly around Under 23 riders, reflecting O'Neills Spirit's continued focus on rider development and progressive racing. While several members of the lineup will be making their Rás debut, the team is expected to adopt an aggressive and attacking style throughout the week.
