Men’s Health Week 2026 – Get Active Across Cork

Men’s Health Week returns from Monday 15th to Sunday 21st June 2026, providing a national focus on supporting and improving the physical and mental health of men and boys.

Led nationally by Men’s Health Forum in Ireland, the week aims to raise awareness, encourage positive lifestyle choices, and promote accessible opportunities for men to take action for their health. A key message each year is simple but powerful — small changes, like becoming more physically active, can have a big impact.

Supporting Men to Get Active in Cork

Cork Sports Partnership is proud to once again support Men’s Health Week by delivering and promoting a wide range of opportunities for men across the county to get active, try something new, and connect with others in their local community.

Throughout the week, we will be:

  • Delivering a programme of come and try events and tasters across a variety of activities
  • Highlighting low-cost and accessible ways for men to get active
  • Promoting local clubs, groups and facilities that welcome men of all ages and abilities
  • Encouraging men to take that first step into physical activity in a supportive environment
