Over 2,500 dancers expected for World Irish Dance Championships

The 2024 An Chomhdháil World Irish Dance Championships kick off at the Killarney Convention Centre on Saturday.
Over 2,500 dancers are to take part in the event that is said to be worth millions to the local economy.
Competitors from America, Scotland, England, Europe and all over Ireland will compete for a World title in the Championships which run from March 23 to 30.
Over 39 competitions will take place over the eight days of the Championships and winners are announced every day after each competition.
The competitions are held in the INEC auditorium and The Gleneagle Ballroom. The age profile of the competitors is age 9 to over 21 years old.
The competitors will be accompanied by an entourage of organisers, teachers, adjudicators, musicians, families, friends, supporters and spectators. An Chomhdháil is delighted to return to Killarney this year. This is Killarney’s eighth occasion to host the An Chomhdháil World Irish Dance Championships.
The economic benefits of these Championships will be felt right across Killarney’s hotels, B&Bs, restaurants, shops and many other businesses. Studies carried out between 2016 and 2019 calculated the Championships were worth €12 million to the local economy.
“We are honoured to welcome the 2024 An Chomhdháil World Irish Dance Championships.” said Patrick O’ Donoghue, CEO of The Gleneagle Group. “We wish all the competitors the very best of luck and we hope everyone enjoys their stay in Killarney.”
