Club software for Irish clubs
From soccer and rugby to athletics and rowing, ClubHelix gives Irish clubs a website-first platform with membership, payments, fundraising and comms in one place — starting free.
Free plan to start · The demo is a real, fully populated club site
Fundraising in the platform
Raffles, recurring donations, sponsor management and an online shop — the fundraising engine Irish clubs run on, without a separate provider.
Membership that renews itself
Online registration, family registrations, renewal reminders and instalment plans, all feeding one member database.
A website you own
Your own domain, your colours, indexable by search — not a profile inside someone else’s app.
Irish club life runs on fundraising and volunteers. ClubHelix is built for both: draws and raffles with proper records, sponsor packages with renewal reminders, an online shop for kit, and a membership engine that stops the January chase.
Clubs in GAA structures typically keep their association systems for games administration — ClubHelix complements them with the club’s own website, membership extras, lotto-style fundraising records and communications.
The whole committee can share the load: role-based access for the registrar, treasurer, PRO and lotto committee, with an audit trail behind every change — so handover at the AGM takes minutes, not a season.
Have a look at the live demo club — a real, fully populated site — then start free: template, colours, publish, and switch on fundraising when you’re ready.
Sound familiar?
The jobs that eat volunteer evenings — and what happens to them on ClubHelix.
The January membership chase
Renewals due, half the club “sorting it this week”, and the registrar texting reminders one family at a time while the spreadsheet drifts out of date.
Fundraising on scraps of paper
The draw runs on ticket stubs and a biscuit tin, sponsor commitments live in someone’s head, and nobody is quite sure what last year’s raffle actually raised.
Comms that never reach everyone
News goes out on one social channel, half the parents aren’t on it, and the lotto results are pinned to the clubhouse door.
One platform, one login, one handover. See everything that's included.

Frequently asked questions
- Can GAA clubs use ClubHelix?
- Clubs affiliated with governing bodies usually keep the association’s games and membership systems where mandated, and use ClubHelix for their public website, fundraising, shop and communications alongside.
- Is euro pricing available?
- The pricing page localises to your region; every club starts on the free plan, with a 14-day free trial of paid plans when you’re ready.
- Can we run our club draw through ClubHelix?
- Yes — sell tickets online, record entries and run draws with a proper audit trail. Check that your draw’s format complies with local rules for club lotteries; ClubHelix provides the records, not legal advice.
- How do sponsors work?
- Sponsor packages track what was agreed, when it renews and where the sponsor appears on your site — with reminders before renewals lapse.
- Do members need to download an app?
- No — the site works in any browser, and members who want the app experience install it to their home screen in two taps, push notifications included.
