The 2010 National Cycling Championships will be held in Sligo between June 24th & June 27th. Hosting the event is the Eire Og Cycling Club, no strangers to the organisation of top level racing.

The Road Championships were last held in Sligo in 2004 when they were won by David O Loughlin riding for the Total Cycling squad. The previous year the Champs were also held in Sligo with local rider Mark Scanlon riding for French professional outfit AG2R trouncing the field for an emphatic victory in front of the home fans.

The Road Championships were also held in Sligo in the mid 1970's. Shay O Hanlon of Clann Bruagh took the honours ahead of Noel Clarke of Navan Road Club.
