Since 1977, Gerald McCarthy Gifts and Awards has been a cornerstone of the sporting community in Cork. Founded by former Cork hurling legend Gerald McCarthy—a man whose own career was defined by All-Ireland glory and an unwavering commitment to the game—the business was built on a deep understanding of what it means to win. For over four decades, their storefront at 18 Princes Street has been the go-to destination for clubs, schools, and organisations looking to honour their heroes with high-quality trophies, medals, and bespoke awards. Now a third-generation family-run business, they have combined this rich heritage with modern innovation. We are thrilled to announce that they’ve officially stepped into the digital field, expanding their retail experience from their physical shop to a comprehensive online store, making their premium collection available to winners across all of Ireland.

To ensure a seamless transition from the high street to the digital space, Gerald McCarthy Trophies has implemented a fully encrypted, secure e-commerce platform to handle all online transactions with the highest level of data protection. This commitment to security allows clubs, schools, and corporate clients to shop with total confidence from any corner of the country. Beyond the site’s technical reliability, the business now offers reliable nationwide shipping, bringing its renowned Cork craftsmanship to every county in Ireland. Their online catalogue is particularly impressive, showcasing a vast range of prestigious Cups, from classic nickel-plated designs to grand silver-effect trophies that command any trophy cabinet. For those seeking a more artistic touch, the collection includes an exquisite variety of Figures and Bronze Statues. These pieces, featuring the timeless elegance of Genesis and Druidcraft Bronze, provide a sophisticated alternative for high-level honours, retirement presentations, or commemorative milestones.
Cups
The selection of cups at Gerald McCarthy Trophies represents the pinnacle of victory, offering a diverse range of styles designed to suit every level of achievement. From grand, large-scale trophies with intricate detailing to sleek, contemporary designs, the collection caters to a range of budgets and presentation needs.

Whether a club is looking for a traditional lidded cup for a perpetual tournament or a modern open-bowl design for an individual honour, the retail range provides high-quality options that are as durable as they are prestigious. Each cup is selected for its craftsmanship, ensuring that when it is hoisted at a presentation, it serves as a worthy and impressive centrepiece for the champion’s achievement.
