Irish Auto Trade Awards return for 2027
The Irish Auto Trade Awards 2027 will be presented at the Auto Trade EXPO/ CV Workshop EXPO at the RDS Simmonscourt in Dublin over the weekend of October 10-11, 2026. The winners will be announced at the culmination of a thorough and professional process.
It is a major task identifying the best operators in practically all sectors of the Irish aftermarket but one that that is very worthwhile. We thank everyone from the auto and transport aftermarket who nominated candidates and voted in the Suppliers Awards.
We also thank our judges for making sure that the process for the selection of the Regional and Overall Retail Awards (which is still in progress as we go to press) is totally thorough, fair and stands up to any scrutiny.
RETAIL AWARDS
This ‘Retail Awards’ categories cover Main Dealership Aftersales & Parts; Independent Workshops (servicing and repairs from cars through to trucks and buses); manufacturer and dealership parts suppliers; wholesale and retail motor factors; bodyshop/refinishers; body builders/converters; recovery operators; tyre manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers; manufacturer innovations; and other awards.
The Regional Retail winners will be announced ahead of the weekend of October 10-11, with the Overall ‘Irish Auto Trade Awards 2027 – Retail Awards’ being announced and presented on Sunday, October 11, at the Auto Trade EXPO.
SUPPLIER AWARDS
The ‘Supplier Awards’ includes manufacturers, distributors/wholesaler and other supply chain businesses that work within the Irish auto and transport aftermarket.
The ‘Irish Auto Trade Awards 2027 – Supplier Award’ winners will be announced and presented on Saturday, October 10, at the Auto Trade EXPO/ CV Workshop EXPO.
We have announced the Supplier Awards shortlist for each category here:
