RTÉ Sport is a department of Irish public broadcaster RTÉ. The department provides sporting coverage through a number of platforms including RTÉ Radio, RTÉ Television, RTÉ.ie, RTÉ Player Sport and RTÉ Mobile. RTÉ holds the television and radio broadcasting rights in the Republic of Ireland to several sports, broadcasting the sport live or alongside flagship analysis programmes such as The Sunday Game, Thank GAA It's Friday, Soccer Republic and RTÉ Racing on RTÉ Television, and Game On, Saturday Sport, and Sunday Sport on RTÉ Radio. Traditionally RTÉ Sport faced competition from British-based broadcasters such as the BBC and ITV which have always been present in Ireland; however, these broadcasters were primarily concerned with the British public and market. Domestically, RTÉ had no competition until the late 1990s due to lack of competition in the Irish market. In latter years however a growth of variety in the Irish market opened competition between other broadcasters most notably with TG4 and Setanta Sports but also TV3. RTÉ Sport is also in competition with other European broadcasters such as Eurosport, ESPN, Sky Sports, BBC Sport and ITV Sport. Despite competition in sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup final which is also available on the BBC and ITV, RTÉ Sport remains Ireland's premier and most popular sports broadcaster. Television broadcasts On television RTÉ Two is the home of live sporting action, broadcasting the majority of RTÉ's sports content. Sport may also be broadcast on RTÉ One, but this is mainly due to scheduling issues. Football RTÉ Sport currently holds the rights to a large portfolio of football tournaments including: FIFA World Cup finals Republic of Ireland qualification matches for both World Cup finals and Euro finals UEFA Champions League (women's (final only, from 2019 to 2020) and men's) FIFA Club World Cup FAI League of Ireland FAI Cup FAI Women's Cup Final UEFA Super Cup The Republic of Ireland matches were shown live on the channel for Euro 2004, the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008, for all of which, they failed to qualify. Sky Sports got exclusive rights to Irish matches in the early 2000s and there were fears that National team matches couldn't be seen by fans so the government stepped in and now all Irish home and away qualifying matches have to be shown on Irish free to air TV, meaning either RTÉ, TV3 or TG4, and have remained on
