History of the show

According to the association, the first FTMTA Farm Machinery Show took place in the RDS (Dublin) in February of 1989. In the intervening period the show has been held on a biennial basis.

It re-located to the Punchestown venue in 2003.

The FTMTA says that the 2019 show is set to be the “biggest such event yet”.
