Markets & Pop-Ups

Pop-Up Sportswear Shops Across Ireland – Aligned with Major Sporting Events

At Irish Sports Museum, we organise pop-up markets and events throughout Ireland, strategically timed around major football tournaments, sporting events, and seasonal moments. These unique, in-person experiences combine sustainable vintage sportswear with the energy of live sport, creating an unmissable atmosphere for fans and fashion lovers alike.

Each pop-up is tailored to the time of year and the sporting calendar, offering fresh stock of second-hand football jerseys, rare kits, and retro sportswear that resonates with both loyal supporters and casual shoppers. Whether discovered through social media or stumbled upon by chance, our vintage sportswear pop-ups consistently draw crowds and spark conversations.

A Nationwide Success

Our nationwide vintage pop-up shops have consistently drawn significant foot traffic and media attention. Coordinating our events with high-profile football matches, such as cup finals, international friendlies, or World Cup fixtures, helps build anticipation and enhance the customer experience.

Starting in March 2023, we partnered with DLRCCO to run exclusive seven-day pop-up shops at Dun Laoghaire Shopping Centre, which attracted football fans and vintage lovers from across the country. Thanks to the incredible response and buzz across social platforms, we’re excited to return in late 2025— just in time for the Christmas rush.
