In Pictures: Caoimhe Kenny, daughter of former Ireland boss Stephen, crowned Miss Ireland 2025
It was the 77th Miss Ireland contest since its first event in 1947
Caoimhe Kenny, the daughter of former Republic of Ireland football manager and current boss of St. Patrick's Athletic Stephen Kenny, was crowned the 77th Miss Ireland at the Knightsbrook Hotel in Trim Co Meath on Saturday night.
The finalists vying for the coveted Miss Ireland 2025 crown stepped into the spotlight at the gala event, which was first held in Ireland in 1947.
The Miss Ireland pageant aims to celebrate intelligence, ambition, and cultural pride, evolving into a platform that champions female leadership and philanthropy.
Former Miss Irelands include Rosanna Davison, Pamela Flood, Holly Carpenter, Rebecca Maguire, Lauren McDonagh, Aoife O Sullivan, Amanda Brunker, Pamela Uba, Aoife Walsh, Michelle Rocca, Olivia Tracy, Jasmine Gerhardt and many more.
In recent years, the Miss Ireland Franchise has raised over €350,000 for various charities including Laura Lynn, Temple Street, Alzheimer’s Ireland, Pieta House, The Cari Foundation and The Julian Benson Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
The finalists of Miss Ireland are put through their paces in a process testing their skills in debating, public speaking, talent, sports, modelling, social media and each finalist is tasked with raising much-needed awareness and funds for their chosen charities.
As this year’s Miss Ireland, Caoimhe Kenny will receive a lucrative agency contract and a host of prizes and will have a chance to jet off to represent Ireland next year on an international stage at the Miss World Festival, which is televised in over 100 countries around the world.
