Major International Event in Motherwell
This year’s championships will be hosted by Boxing Scotland at the Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility. The 2026 edition is set to be one of the largest in the competition’s history, with more than 300 boxers expected to take part across Schools, Junior, Youth, and Elite divisions.
The tournament continues to grow in scale and reputation, offering a vital platform for emerging and elite athletes to test themselves against the best talent from across the home nations.
Expansion to Four Nations Format
A key development for 2026 sees the introduction of Boxing Ireland to the traditional Three Nations structure, joining Wales, England, and Scotland to create a newly expanded Four Nations Championships.
This addition is expected to significantly raise the competitive standard and provide invaluable international experience for Welsh athletes at every stage of their development pathway.
