Celebrating agri-food, drink and tourism hospitality businesses across Ireland, the Good Food Ireland® Awards 2025, in association with FBD Insurance, received a record number of nominations ahead of the organisation’s 20th year, which is coming up in 2026.
The Good Food Ireland® Awards are judged by an independent panel of Irish and international experts through onsite mystery inspections and detailed assessments. These experts shortlist nominees and select winners based on strict criteria, which includes local sourcing, Irish provenance, and sustainability.

"Many years later, our awards are now recognised as the pinnacle of excellence in food, drink and tourism experience, recognising those businesses who play a vital role in the entire Irish food ecosystem, one that fosters local pride and drives international tourism.
