 Public Liability (“Third Party”)


There is an indemnity limit of €13 million per incident. An increased limit is available upon request.


This covers a member for any third party liability or property damage for which they are held legally liable. (a third party is a person not accredited with membership of Cycling Ireland) when you are training, competing or officiating in an approved Cycling Ireland activity. (a €500 excess applies to each claim, to be paid by claimant). There is no cover in respect of any injury or damage suffered by one participant caused by another participant during training activities (please note members can still claim the personal accident cover above in this case).

    Yes, provided it forms part of your ongoing training.

  • As a club are we covered to take out non-Cycling Ireland members with us?

    Public Liability Coverage – Worldwide
