will there be any big sporting events this summer? (May to August)

I don't know of any. I know the Rugby World Cup is on, but this is September 9th onwards. Note to mods: I would post this question in a general sports forum if there was one, but in the sports forums each forum is only for a very specific sport.

It's a year ending in an uneven number. You always know you're ****ed for summer sport when the year ends in an uneven number :mad:

You could add in The Irish Open Golf, The Dublin Horse show, The Galway Races and most of the GAA Inter County championship games for the counties involved. Not to mention Grand Prix racing etc etc etc

The OP needs to be more specific. Are you looking for a random international sport event to attend/avoid??

The only major sporting events you could be referring to that are not on is the World Cup and European Championship in Soccer or the Olympic Games - otherwise business as usual in the wonderful world of sport.

No sporting events for forseeable future due to recession cutbacks.

The IAAF World Athletics Championships.

Doesn't get any bigger, with every nation on Earth (and a few more besides) attending.

The World Swimming Championships.

I think he means something like a big tournament with games on every night for a few weeks. So Wimbledon would be the only one that's on telly. (That I can think of.) It's the Stanley Cup (Ice hockey) now in America/Canada if you stay up late and have access to American tv or can stream it.

I get what he's looking for. I will watch sports I'd never normally watch if there's a big tournament on. Better vibe about, more people talking about them, you can get behind teams without having to follow them over a prolonged tournament.

Best tournament like this I found was the Winter Olympics. I much prefer it to Summer ones. Some great sports, like Ski cross and Ice Hockey.

Just anything. Soccer is my No.1 sport but i'd watch most sports. I'd like to watch golf and tennis. Definitely gonna watch Wimbledon and Copa America.

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet tbh! Maybe it's just because it's on here. But it's on for all June and July.

Haye V Klitschko - Sky Sports are trying to convince us this is a big event.

The Lingerie Football League also starts the end of August.
