What SportLoMo does

SportLoMo is a privately held Irish SaaS company that provides a unified sports management platform for national governing bodies, federations, regional associations, leagues, tournaments and clubs. Headquartered in Castlebar, Co Mayo, the company was formally established in its software-vendor form in 2006 (with sports web development dating back to 2000) and operates under the legal entity Sportlomo Limited.

The platform is built on a single-code-base, zero-bolt-ons architecture with a modern REST API, hostitng on AWS in Ireland, Germany and Canada to support GDPR-compliant data sovereignty. A single live database underpins every layer of the product, eliminating duplicate data entry and manual reconciliation across the entire sport ecosystem. Core modules include Registration & Membership, Governance/Compliance/Safe Sport, Competition/Games/Officials, Events & Tournaments, Payments & Finance (built natively on StripeConnect for instant fund distribution), Mobile Apps & Communication, Sports Websites, Club Membership & App, a Learning Management System and a Digital Ticketing module launched in 2026. The system supports 12+ sports including rugby, volleyball, swimming, football, basketball, hockey and pickleball, with native localisation in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and German.

SportLoMo monetises primarily through enterprise SaaS subscription contracts with NGBs and federations (multi-year, anchored by customers such as IRFU, Volleyball Canada and Volleyball England), supplemented by per-transaction payment processing fees on StripeConnect and on the new Digital Ticketing module. Some modules (event registration, membership) are free for affiliated clubs, accelerating adoption and feeding data back to paying NGB customers. The company serves 500+ top-tier sports organisations in 30+ countries and operates additional sales and support presence in the UK and USA/Canada. Enterprise Ireland is the only disclosed funding source on record (2016).
