You’ll find strong international fields competing for major prize pools across multiple tournaments, with players from across Europe and beyond gathering to test their skills in an atmosphere that's electric, welcoming, and truly unforgettable. Whether you're grinding the Main Event, exploring side tournaments or relaxing in the Player Lounge, awaiting you is a unique energy that only the Irish Open can deliver.
This is more than a poker tournament—it's a celebration of the game, the city, and the players who make it special. From your first hand to your last, you'll understand why the Irish Open remains a pilgrimage for poker enthusiasts worldwide.
