Jack Courtney has established himself as one of Ireland’s most exciting darts talents.

The Carlow teenager won gold for the Republic of Ireland in the 2025 WDF World Youth Cup in Korea, teaming up with Aidan O’Hara to claim victory in the youth pairs event.

‘The Rottweiler’ enjoyed a breakthrough 2025 with his World Cup gold following a triumph in the INDO Irish Classic boys’ singles to confirm his position as the number one ranked boys’ player in the INDO system.

At the start of 2025, Courtney secured a tour card to play on the JDC Advanced Tour after winning Event 2 at Q-School. In his first season on the JDC’s premier circuit, Courtney made one semi-final and two-quarter-final appearances.
