The Tour of Ireland

 

The Tour of Ireland took place between 2007 - 2009 with An Post sponsoring the Green ‘points’ jersey and using An Post Post Offices as primes or sprint hot-spots to highlight their presence both in the villages and towns of Ireland and the race itself. 

The race attracted international pro-cycling teams and had its origins in the popular International Nissan Classic race.
