While each will be a stand-alone event and not part of a series, organisers have endeavoured to ensure a geographic spread of events.
The first race in the line up will be a criterium hosted by this year's Criterium National Championship hosts Greenmount in Limerick. This race will take place on July 13th.
July 26th sees Dungarvan host event number two in Co. Waterford.

Enniskillen will take centre stage for Masters riders on August 1st when Lakeland CC take the reigns in Fermanagh.
Attention then turns to Connacht as Galway Bay CC host in Athenry on August 16th.
All eyes will be on Ulster again as Emyvale host Road Race National Championships in Monaghan on August 24th. Emyvale will also host Masters Time-Trial National Championships on August 23rd.
While details on each individual event will be announced in due course, races will typically be between 60-80km in length, with the criterium in Limerick likely to sit at 50km.
This block of events come based off rider feedback around National Grade Events, where harder races have resulted in masters numbers dropping off. Organisers are keen to ensure every age group and every level of rider has a race they feel competitive in.
These races will be open to all masters age groups, and are primarily aimed at riders competing at C2 and C3 level.
