Kairos, the sports tech company co-founded by former Irish rugby international Andrew Trimble, has been acquired by US firm Teamworks.
The value of the deal has not been disclosed.
Kairos provides communication and messaging software for professional sports and over the past three years has built a customer roster of over 100 organisations, primarily in global football and rugby.
Teamworks develops operating systems for more than 6,000 sports, military, and public safety organisations worldwide.
Its products provide specialised applications to support recruiting, development, management, individual branding, and community building.
As part of the deal, Teamworks will take on 20 new Kairos employees as well as the Kairos founders Mr Trimble and Gareth Quinn.
"The decision to join Teamworks is a strategic move to align ourselves with the leader in sports technology, and one that shares our vision," Mr Trimble said.
"Teamworks' comprehensive operating system allows us to continue building and innovating for our pro sports customers on a solid and integrated foundation," he said.
"It also allows our customers to adopt new purpose-built products faster within a unified platform," he added.
Zach Maurides, founder and CEO of Teamworks, said the company has acquired firms with visionary leaders and like-minded individuals to help build the future of sports.
"Kairos is the next great company to join us on this mission," Mr Maurides said.
"With our combined expertise, additional resources, and a unified strategy, we'll accelerate innovation and our development of an integrated operating system for elite sports organisations," he added.
