Where It All Started

What began as a few mates throwing darts on St Patrick's Day has grown into one of Dublin's most beloved charity events. The Paddy's Day Invitational — the PDI — brings together players, performers, and punters for a night that's equal parts sport, spectacle, and craic.

Over twenty years, the walk-ons have gotten bigger, the fancy dress more outrageous, and the cause more important. Every cent raised goes to Children's Health Foundation Crumlin.

It's never been about the darts — it's about what the darts make possible.
