List of Irish clans

The following is a list of Irish clans sourced from modern published sources.

Unlike Scottish clans which are defined by surnames recognised by Scottish law of the Court of the Lord Lyon, there is no definitive authority on which surnames are regarded as Irish clans. The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Clans of Ireland in 2013 at Christchurch Cathedral, Dublin. As part of the agreement both organisations agree to recognise each other’s authority over clans.
