NEWPORT COUNTRY CLUB | JUNE 15, 2026
Thanks to all who joined the Irish American Partnership’s 35th Annual Newport Golf Invitational at Newport Country Club — one of the USGA’s five founding clubs and the historic site of the inaugural U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur in 1895.
Our sincere thanks to Invitational Chair Dave Greaney for his leadership in making this event the highlight of the golf calendar. We are also deeply grateful to our generous sponsors: Synergy, our 40th Anniversary Sponsor; Clune Construction, sponsor of the evening reception; and luncheon sponsors Brendon Properties, Motorola Solutions, and Greenberg Traurig.
The Newport Invitational holds a special place in our Golf Championship Series. Alongside our tournaments in Chicago, New York, and across Ireland, Newport stands as the longest-running — and arguably the most illustrious — of them all. We are grateful to everyone who made the journey to this remarkable course on June 15th.
Congratulations to our 2026 winners, the Fenian Capital Team — Stephen Brown, Daniel Connolly, Cathal Kenny, and Raymond Leyden — on a well-earned victory!
As we celebrate the Partnership’s 40th anniversary year, this gathering carried particular meaning. Your presence and support reflect the enduring connection between Irish America and the island of Ireland — and directly advance our work investing in students, schools, and communities across Ireland. As we mark 40 years of investing in Ireland, we invite you to consider making a gift in honor of this milestone.
Since 1986, the Partnership has raised more than $63 million supporting youth and education, peace and reconciliation, and community programs across the island of Ireland — and with your continued support, our next 40 years will be even more impactful. Go raibh míle maith agaibh — thank you.
