Poker tournaments in Ireland, and the online poker sites that serve Irish players

Poker tournaments in Ireland this season

The biggest live poker tournament in Ireland is the Irish Poker Open. Its next Dublin festival runs from 18 to 29 March 2027, according to the organiser. Online, the poker sites below run tournaments every day; compare the buy-in, fee and structure before you register.

Follow the poker terms

Our directory identifies poker separately from sports betting. PokerStars’ official sports-exit information says Irish sports access ended on 1 July 2026 while poker was unaffected. That is not a reason to list the brand as an Irish sportsbook.

Compare total costs

Look beyond the advertised buy-in. Tournament fees, re-entries, blind structure and cash-game rake affect what participation costs. A busy global lobby does not guarantee the same tables, promotions or player pools for every account.

Set a stopping point

Decide both a money limit and a session length before playing. Avoid increasing stakes to recover losses. Use account limits or exclusion options when needed and speak to a support service if gambling feels difficult to control.

What these listings mean

These are selected, source-checked starting points, not a complete register or a rating table. The operator’s current product terms and location checks govern eligibility. You must be at least 18. No deposit or withdrawal tests are claimed.
