With the addition of a number of new sponsors, the team will look beyond Irish shores this year for competition.
The securing of new financial backers is assisting the Scott-Eurocycles team in driving forward its ambitious plans in its third season on the Irish scene.
With one of its number, David Conroy, having already represented Ireland at the World Cyclocross Championships earlier this year the team is hoping to look beyond Irish shores for competition in the months ahead.
"With the high level of support from our very enthusiastic sponsors, the 2016 season presents a massive opportunity for the riders to develop their excellent talents even further,” said team principal Paddy Daly.
“I am very excited to lead and support these great riders towards big results in the future.”
The riders will take in an expanded programme this year including all rounds of the Irish and UK NPS Series as well as targeting select World Cups and the MTB and cyclocross world championships.

The team began in 2014 and raced under the title sponsorship of Daly’s business Donnybrook Landscape Co.
It had two riders in its first year in the shape of Conroy and Sean Feeney.
It expanded in 2015, bringing on board Gareth Hegarty and Marlena Droździok.
Hegarty took a string of very strong results during the 2015-2016 cyclocross campaign with Droździok winning gold at the MTB XC Championships.
And this year two more riders have been added to the roster, with John Quinn and Klaudia Bajolek racing in the junior categories.
The squad, which now races as Scott-Eurocycles, is also still backed by Daly’s landscaping business and Northgate Vehicle Hire.
“The goal of the project is to nurture and develop the very best junior and U23 talent by providing the riders with world class equipment, support and exposure to top level national and international events,” Daly said.
