The previous European championship took place in Russia last June and saw a double Irish win.
Liam O’Driscoll from Bandon, Co Cork, won the grassland contest and will defend his overall European reversible champion on home turf next year.
Meanwhile, Dan Donnelly from Blackwater, Co Wexford, won the stubble contest. He came fourth in the overall contest.
It will be a busy plouging year in the south-east after Co Carlow was announced as the host of next September's National Ploughing Championship.
