Competitors from around the globe are gathering at the INEC and the Great Southern Hotel Killarney this February for Oireachtas Rince na hÉireann, All-Ireland Irish Dancing Championships 2019.

The week long Irish dance event runs from February 17th-23rd and is organised by An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha. It is expected to bring in excess of 3000 competitors and 7000 spectators to Kerry. The event, which was established in 1932, is the longest running major competition in the Irish dance calendar.

Tá áthas orainn filleadh ar Chill Áirne. Tréaslaímíd  Róisín agus Antóin Ó Nualláin a bheidh inár dteannta le linn na Féile I mbliana toisc an dea saothar atá déanta acu beirt ar son An Choimisiúin le Rincí Gaelacha. This year An coimisiún is delighted to honour Róisín agus Antóin Nualláin to acknowledge their outstanding contribution to Irish dancing in Munster and internationally.

Blending culture and tradition with contemporary choreography and aesthetic athletic prowess, the Championships will attract dancers from around the world to compete for Irish dancing’s oldest title. Dancers ranging in age from nine years to senior will compete in solo and team competitions.

This year, Oireachtas Rince na hÉireann is an International Qualifying event offering dancers from every region the opportunity to qualify for Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne, the World Irish Dancing Championships, which will be held in Greensboro North Carolina in April 2019. Qualification for the World Championships is something that every dancer aspires to as it inspires them to be among the best dancers in the world.
