The Irish Grand Prix was a race on the Formula One calendar. It was first held in 1956 on the Wicklow Circuit.
Grands Prix were held in the Republic in the 1920s and 1930s in Phoenix Park, Dublin and on the streets of Limerick. Ireland first joined the Formula One calendar in 1956 with a race on the Wicklow Circuit. The race was repeated in 1957 before disappearing from the schedule for fifty years. The race returned in 2009 on the new purpose-built Athlone International Circuit in County Westmeath.
