Season 1 of 2024 will feature 7 teams from Ireland, competing to become regional champions and ultimately – the first ever Emerald Isle Pickleball champions. 

The Southern Region is based on a standard Home & Away fixture list. Teams will  travel from near and far to their respective matches across the counties.

Each team in the Southern Region will play 12 matches. 6 at home, 6 away. These ‘matches’ comprise of 4 games – 2 mixed doubles, 1 female doubles and 1 males doubles.

Should the score be tied at 2-2 at the end of the fourth game – the teams will compete in a ‘Doubles Tiebreaker’. Each player will play for 4 points as their teammates and opponents change. 

After every team has completed their 12 match season, the top two will progress to the All-Ireland finals in May.
