The Irish Club of Luxembourg was set up as a non-profit making organisation in 1985 by a small but enthusiastic group of Irish expatriates living in Luxembourg. At that time there was no focal point for the Irish Community in Luxembourg, but since then the Club has gone from strength to strength and today comprises a large number of members of all ages, professional backgrounds and of various nationalities. The Irish Club organises a range of social events each year particularly for St Patrick’s Day and at Christmas time.

The club holds a couple of Céilí each year, with the main focus on the St Patrick's Day celebrations on 17th March. The club also organises concerts with Traditional Irish Musicians.

They have a mixed membership of all nationalities.

A Committee drawn from the local Irish community has each year since 2002 held a very successful competition to select a Luxembourg Rose to attend the annual competition in Tralee. This event has involved a Rose Gala Ball at a local hotel to select a Luxembourg Rose. The gala Ball is annually a sell-out event with an attendance of over 200 people from the Irish Community in Luxembourg.nbsp;

2012 was a hugely significant year, with our Luxembourg Rose, Nicola McEvoy being crowned the 2012 International Rose of Tralee in Ireland in August 2012.

The International Bazaar, running since the late 1960s is a charity event which raises funds for local, national and developing world charities. The event is held over two days at the end of November at Luxexpo (main exhibition complex in Luxembourg).

The Ireland Stand, under the patronage of the Embassy of Ireland, Luxembourg, has been one of the main contributors to the charities supported by the Bazaar over the past thirty years. This event is truly a wonderful show-case for quality Irish products. During this period, the Ireland Stand has received practical support from many Irish firms: e.g. goods provided at wholesale prices, short-term credit facilities etc.
