Tracking Ireland's 27 ranked players on the official FIP world tour
Last updated: September 2026
Padel is growing fast in Ireland, and the numbers are starting to show it. A growing group of Irish players are appearing on the FIP (International Padel Federation) world rankings, competing against players from countries where padel has been established for decades.
This page tracks every Irish player currently ranked by the FIP. Rankings are updated on the 1st of each month, so you can follow progress throughout the year.
What Are the FIP Rankings?
The FIP rankings are the official world rankings for padel, covering both the professional circuit (Premier Padel, Cupra FIP Tour) and amateur international events. Points are awarded at sanctioned FIP tournaments worldwide. For most Irish players, points come from participating in domestic FIP sanctioned events, travel to events abroad, or through international championships representing Ireland.
A ranking (at any level) means a player has competed at an internationally recognised padel event. With padel still in its infancy here, every Irish name on this list is a trailblazer.
A Quiet Month After a Big Summer
After the rapid growth seen in July, when two home FIP Silver events in Belfast and Dublin nearly doubled Ireland's contingent of ranked players, August was a calmer month. No new Irish players debuted on the FIP rankings this update, and the roster holds steady at 27 active players (14 women, 13 men).
Only two Irish players added to their points tally this period. Louis Jarrold reached the Round of 32 at the FIP Silver Porto St. Elpidio event in Italy on 20 August, picking up 6 points and climbing from world #1,000 to #872, the biggest single jump on the list. Amy Flynn reached the Round of 32 at the FIP Bronze Ciudad Raqueta event in Madrid on 24 August, adding 3 points and climbing 38 places to #519, Ireland's second highest ranked woman.
Everyone else on the list held their points total steady, but several saw their world rank slip slightly this month simply because other players below them, from other countries, earned points and moved up the table. Katie Nolan (unchanged at 13 points) slipped 8 places to #819, and Harry Bingham (unchanged at 11 points) slipped 9 places to #1,297. This kind of drift is normal: with a fixed points tally, rank naturally erodes over time unless a player competes again.
Ireland's Ranked Players
The table below shows all Irish registered players with active FIP ranking points. It is refreshed on the 1st of each month. Ranking Change compares each player's world rank to last month: green and positive means the player's world rank number went down (they climbed), red and negative means it went up (they slipped).

Leading the Way
Anna Zuka remains Ireland's highest ranked player overall at world #448 with 35 points, dipping just 2 places this month but still comfortably ahead of the rest of the Irish contingent.
On the men's side, Louis Jarrold is now Ireland's clear number one, climbing 128 places to world #872 with 23 points after his run in Italy, overtaking the cluster of players tied at #1,180 (Ivan Ignacio Herrera, Oscar Jacobson and James Harte, all on 13 points).
Why This Matters
Ireland only affiliated with the FIP in recent years, and Irish padel infrastructure (courts, clubs, coaching) is still developing. After July's home Silver events pushed the ranked contingent from 19 to 27, this month is a reminder that most of the hard work now happens abroad: consistent points require consistent travel to FIP sanctioned events. Each tournament appearance, each point earned, helps put Irish padel on the map and opens doors for future generations.
If you're an Irish player competing in FIP sanctioned events and don't see your name here, it's worth checking your registration is correctly linked to Ireland (IRL) on the FIP system.
