Los condados de Irlanda son una creación del Gobierno británico del siglo XIX para administrar el país. Irlanda está dividida en 32 condados. Actualmente también se utilizan ampliamente en el campo deportivo. En Irlanda del Norte, los 6 condados fueron reemplazados en 1973 por 26, y en la República de Irlanda, 6 de los 26 condados originales se dividieron, lo que hacen hoy un total de 32 "condados artificiales".

↑Renamed "County Tirconaill" 1922 by resolution of the county council.(Place Name Confusion– Donegal or Tirconaill, The Irish Times, April 24, 1924). After historians and Gaelic scholars pointed out that the name was inaccurate as the historic territory of Tirconaill only included part of the county, the name Donegal was readopted in 1927 (Back to "Donegal", The Irish Times, 22 November 1927).
