Three sporting events to watch this week: Your handy guide to sport on television

Equestrian

It is the 150th year of the Dublin Horse Show, not only Ireland’s largest equestrian meeting, but one of the biggest annual events held on the island. There are five days of competition, with live tv coverage on the final three days, including for the Nations Cup (the Aga Khan Trophy). - Friday-Sunday, RTÉ

Camogie

Cork appear to be on an unstoppable march to a third All-Ireland senior title in a row. Though, as Cork players know, hot favourites don’t always prevail on All-Ireland final day. Standing in their way on Sunday at Croke Park will be Galway, a team the Munster side defeated in last year’s decider. - Sunday, RTÉ

Soccer

The opening bell of the 2025/26 English football season will be rung at the weekend when Premier League champions Liverpool take on FA Cup winners Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium in the Community Shield. While it will be the 103rd staging of the annual event, amazingly, it will be the first time Palace are involved. - Sunday, TNT Sports
