Congratulations to our 2026 International Rose of Tralee, Caoilfhinn Ní Choiligh. What a moment for Caoilfhinn, and what a night for Westmeath. At just 25, Caoilfhinn has been selected as the 2026 International Rose of Tralee, becoming only the second Westmeath Rose to receive the honour.

Her story has already touched so many people. After losing her hair to alopecia at the age of 15, Caoilfhinn turned that experience into something deeply meaningful and is now studying to become a wig maker alongside her work in retail. Tonight, after two unforgettable nights at the Kerry Sports Academy at MTU, Caoilfhinn received her sash from our 2025 Rose of Tralee, Katelyn Cummins and will now will make her way to Tralee to be welcomed by thousands at Midnight Madness!
