Lough Derg Yacht Club based at Dromineer in County Tipperary is reputedly one of the world’s oldest yacht clubs having been founded in 1835. It is one of two yacht clubs in Ireland with a fleet of Shannon-One-Design sailing dinghies. The club is based in a modern clubhouse on the lough shore.
The RNLI Lough Derg Lifeboat Station, the first inland lifeboat station to open in Ireland, is located at the Yacht Club.
The Mirror world championships were hosted at Dromineer during summer 2013.
