The Dubarry West Coast Super League is an extracted series of three events to count from six events on the west coast, which is organised by the West of Ireland Offshore Racing Association.

The six events were the Northwest Offshore Racing Association annual meet (this year in Sligo), the West Coast Championship's 2007 (Clifden), O' Sullivan Marine 100 mile race, Galway Bay Sailing Club cruiser regatta, Foynes Regatta and the October Series at the Royal Western Yacht Club.

The objectives of the Super League are to promote sailing, to encourage inter-club competition, to avoid clashing of events and to cater for boats that wish to travel.
