National Ploughing Championships

Agri Aware hosted a larger activation at the National Ploughing Championships (NPA) in 2026 with an action-packed schedule, and plenty of surprises in store.

September 15 – 17, 2026

Screggan, Tullamore

National Ploughing Championships

What's in store?

Agri Aware returned to Screggan, and for the first time in five years exhibited with its own stand to coincide with the 30th anniversary of educating the general public on Irish agriculture and food production. This year’s National Ploughing Championships also saw Agri Aware launch its first public donation campaign.

The ‘I Support Irish Farming’ jersey

After a successful collaboration with TikTok at last year’s event, the aim for 2026 was very much about celebrating the work of Irish farmers and supporting the agri-food sector. To commemorate this celebration, Agri Aware, in partnership with TikTok, brought a special edition jersey to visitors at the ploughing. The limited-edition jersey was available to purchase for visitors on the ground from the Agri Aware and TikTok Shop, and for the first time, people were able to purchase LIVE from the event from the comfort of their own home. For those who were unable to pick up a jersey at the ploughing, it is available to purchase on the Agri Aware shop.

Educational Programme Partners

Agri Aware’s programme partners equuip and BiOrbic also exhibited at the stand, promoting the education work carried out in secondary schools, as well as sharing updates on the work both organisations are undertaking in the equine and circular bioeconomy sectors respectively.

Shearing, milking and much more

Ever seen a cow being milked or a sheep being shorn?

From learning how the milk you consume is produced to the skill of shearing the wool from a sheep, its all happening at the Cork Summer Show. And that’s not all, you’ll learn about Ireland’s native hedgerows, to the quality grassland our cattle and sheep graze… not to mention the technology Irish farmers use to improve efficiency and productivity on farms.

That's not all...

Food for Thought Marquee

The Agri Aware Food for Thought marquee will provide visitors with an opportunity to meet and hear from those working in Ireland’s agri-food sector who play a crucial role in all facets of the industry. Patrons of the agri-food educational body will provide insight, analysis and experience of the work that goes into producing, processing, promoting and enhancing the sector while cooking demonstrations in between panels, will offer a taste of the top-quality food Irish farmers and producers provide year-round.
