Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the Irish Book Awards continue to champion and promote Irish writing to the widest range of readers possible. Each year, the An Post Irish Book Awards bring together a vast community passionate about books – readers, authors, booksellers, publishers and librarians – to recognise the very best of new and established Irish writing talent and 2025 is no different.
A one-hour television special, hosted by Oliver Callan, will be broadcast on RTÉ One on 11th December which will reveal this year’s ‘An Post Irish Book of the Year 2025’.
The Irish Book Awards also unveiled a newly commissioned trophy designed by award-winning Irish ceramic artist Ciara O’Keeffe of Ceramics and Sculpture Design and Studio, in collaboration with Ruth Liddle, Managing Director at Create Gifts and Awards.
The new trophy is inspired by the Celtic goddess Brigid, who is closely associated with storytelling and poetry, and is one of the most important figures in Celtic mythology.
