Irish Quiz League: Season 6

Season 6 of the Zoom-based Irish Quiz League was held between February and April 2026, and consisted of 23 teams from across Ireland and beyond.

  • The 23 teams were arranged into three divisions of 8, 8 and 7 teams.
  • The season ran for seven weeks, between February 9th and April 27th 2026 – as usual, skipping 1-2 Mondays per month due to Irish bank holidays and Dublin Quiz League match nights.
  • There was a total prize fund of over €1,000 with cash prizes for the winner and runner-up in each division.
  • Promotion/relegation was in effect for top & bottom 2 teams in each division, for the subsequent season in 2027.
  • At the end of the League season, for the fourth time we ran an IQL Cup knock-out competition from early May to late June, with free entry to all current League teams. Current fixtures for the IQL Cup can be found back on the main Irish Quiz League page.
