Young women across Cork are invited to step into the spotlight and embrace a journey of empowerment, leadership, and community impact, with the quest to find 77th Miss Ireland now underway.

The next Miss Cork – a dynamic ambassador who will represent the county at the much anticipated Miss Ireland final on June 14th, will follow in the footsteps of current Miss Cork City, 24 year old Rachel O’Leary from Blarney and Miss Cork, 21 year old Riona O’Mahony, from Cobh, as well as former Miss Ireland’s Aoife O’Sullivan and Jess Hayes, also from Cork.

The search is now on to find contestants to begin their Miss Ireland journey which includes various events and appearances. The finalists of Miss Ireland are put through their paces in a challenging competitive process testing their skills in debating, public speaking, talent, sports, modelling, social media and each finalist will be tasked with raising much-needed awareness and funds for their chosen charities.

Miss Cork will advance to the national finals for a chance to claim the Miss Ireland crown at a spectacular final in the luxurious Knightsbrook Hotel and Resort in Trim, Co Meath on June 14th, with the 77th crowned Miss Ireland receiving a lucrative agency contract and a host of prizes.

She will then 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. She will also enjoy a trip to Indonesia.
