Dear IRC member
We hope that you have had a good season's racing this year. Please note that IRC applications for 2025 will close from Monday 15th December to allow us to do annual maintenance in preparation for next year.
IRC 2026 applications are expected to open in MyIRC during the week commencing 5th January 2026. You will receive an email from us with more information once the application portal is open.
If you also hold a Secondary IRC certificate please ensure that you have added this to your MyIRC account as a separate 'boat', using the Add My Boat option, ready for 2026 revalidation.
For your 2026 application there will no additional information required to produce your rating next year, but here are some useful links to help you prepare for revalidation and next season's racing:
