Celebrity Bainisteoir (season 2)

The second season of Celebrity Bainisteoir was broadcast in Ireland on RTÉ One from 22 March 2009 until 10 May 2009.

The eight bainisteoirí were model Andrea Roche, veteran broadcaster Derek Davis, former Irish pop star-turned children's television presenter Emma O'Driscoll, journalist and broadcaster George Hook, businessman-turned television presenter John McGuire, The Irish Times columnist and campaigner for male issues John Waters, comedian Katherine Lynch and Today FM broadcaster Ray D'Arcy.

The Roscommon Herald commented that the premise ought not to work, that it was in theory "eight GAA club teams being led into a phony war by a coach, expected to hit peak fitness levels three or four months ahead of their championship season".

Davis and Lynch reached the final, appearing on Tubridy Tonight the day before it was broadcast.

Eight bainisteoirí competed in the second season Celebrity Bainisteoir.
