Ireland–New Zealand relations

Ireland
New Zealand

The diplomatic relations between Ireland and New Zealand are well developed. Both nations are members of the Australia Group, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the United Nations.

Both nations are English-speaking nations. As a result of famine and poverty, several thousand Irish people migrated to New Zealand where today approximately 20% of the population can claim Irish heritage.
