The Irish Ice Hockey Association (IIHA) is the governing body of ice hockey in Ireland.[2]

The association was established in 1996.[1] A not-for-profit organisation, the IIHA is a member of Sport Ireland, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF),[1] the Federation of Irish Sport (FIS),[3] and the Olympic Federation of Ireland (OFI).[citation needed] The IIHA was accepted as a member of Sport Ireland in 2016,[4] and worked with the National Governing Body office over the course of a 2-year probationary period. The IIHA was recognised as a national governing body for ice hockey, by Sport Ireland, in September 2018.[2]

The IIHA ran the Irish Ice Hockey League from 2007 until 2010.[5][6]
