Set up in 1994, the Scottish Association for Country Sports seeks to promote and protect the future of country sports, the environment on which they depend, and the interests of those people who are involved or employed in managing, conserving and serving our unique sporting heritage. In 1998 the Association began to recruit members in Northern Ireland where many of the pressures faced by sportsmen and women were similar to those experienced in Scotland.  Membership in the Province continues to grow annually. In 2001 the first Region of the Scottish Association for Country Sports outside Scotland was formed in Northern Ireland as an autonomous Region .  Since then the N.I. Region has recruited over 3,000 members, including more than sixty clubs and seventy syndicates.

The SACS Northern Ireland Region runs all SACS activities within the Province and has automatic representation on the SACS National Council.  The Chairman of the Northern Ireland Region, Conor Moore, is also the Vice-Chairman of the Association. SACS Northern Ireland is a realistic, alternative sporting organisation for those sportsmen and women in Northern Ireland who want local representation, local accountability and decisive decision making.  All monies raised in Northern Ireland remain in the control of the locally elected representatives of the Association in Northern Ireland.  Help swell our ranks even more by becoming a member of Northern Ireland's fastest growing and most dynamic country sports organisation.
