Cork is an ideal choice for athletes and teams to acclimatise and train in the lead up to the London Olympic Games next year. The county’s similar climate, proximity to London, good transpor tation links, common language and renowned welcoming nature all contribute to making it the perfect location for pre-Games training camps.

 
Cork can offer world-class sports facilities catering for a range of Olympic sports. These sports facilities have nurtured the talent of some of Ireland’s most successful athletes including Olympians Sonia O’Sullivan and Derval O’Rourke. The sports facilities available are supported by state-of-the-art medical and spor ts science facilities, quality accommodation and catering services. The facilities also have a history of success in hosting major international sporting events, conferences and related activities.
 
Cork also enjoys a distinguished maritime tradition and is blessed with excellent year round natural sailing conditions making the county an ideal location for the sailing and water sports disciplines.
 
Cork City is renowned as one of the most welcoming cities in the world with plenty to see and do – in 2010 the Lonely Planet Tour Guide named Cork as one of their Top 10 Cities. There is a compelling mix of history, culture and enter tainment on offer throughout the county and you are guaranteed a traditional céad míle fáilte or one hundred thousand welcomes.
