Irish Go Association

The Irish Go Association (IGA) promotes Go in Ireland, and is a member of both the International Go Federation and the European Go Federation.^[1] It organises club and tournament events as well as teaching sessions.^[1]

In 2001 the IGA and British Go Association ran the 45th European Go Congress in Dublin, which was attended by around 400 players.^[2]

The IGA was founded in 1989, by the merging of two Dublin clubs - Trinity College and Collegians Chess and Go Club. The Association is cross-border, having affiliated clubs in Northern and Southern Ireland. Its national championship has run every year since 1990.
