One of the most highly anticipated events in Ireland is the annual poker festival that is the
Irish Poker Open. Join Europe's poker elite in Dublin this April and celebrate this prestigious and historical event.
The Irish Open, Europe's longest-established poker tournament, was first held in 1981 by the late, great Terry Rogers. Terry had visited Vegas and befriended legends such as Benny Binion, Johnny Moss, and Doyle Brunson, taking a keen interest in no-limit Texas hold'em, a variation of the game previously unknown outside the USA.
Upon returning to Ireland, Terry established the
Irish Open, which became instrumental in spreading no-limit hold'em's popularity throughout Ireland and across Europe. Explore the fascinating history of Irish poker and Europe's longest running poker tournament by clicking
