Katelyn Cummins (20) has been crowned the 2025 Rose of Tralee Domnick Walsh/Eye Focus

Did you watch the Rose of Tralee?

First held in 1959, the Rose of Tralee celebrates women from across the globe – not just Ireland – as they compete for the title and prize package.

THE LAOIS ROSE was crowned the winner of the Rose of Tralee last night, marking the end of the festival’s 65th year.

Katelyn Cummins, an apprentice electrician, has been awarded the title and prize package including a €25,000 travel voucher, a car, free hair styling, as well as a week’s holiday in Kerry.

From Offaly to Ohio, 32 Roses graced the stage in Co Kerry over the past two nights.

Today, we want to know: Did you watch the Rose of Tralee?
