The National Ploughing Championships will take place in Rathangan, Co Kildare, next year.
Boherkill Farm will be the new host venue after Screggan in Co Offaly, which has staged the event for the past two years.
It is understood the 2027 Ploughing will also be held a week later than usual (from 21-23 September), to avoid a clash with the Ryder Cup in Adare Manor in Limerick.
75,000 people attended the final day of the NPC in Screggan yesterday, with 243,000 visitors through the gates across the three days of the event.
The total attendance for championships, which is Europe’s largest outdoor event, was up by around 18,000 on last year.
