Irish nationality law details the conditions by which a person is a national of the Republic of Ireland. The primary law governing nationality regulations is the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, which came into force on 17 July 1956. Regulations apply to the entire island of Ireland, which includes the Republic of Ireland itself and Northern Ireland, a constituent part of the United Kingdom.

All persons born in the Republic before 1 January 2005 were automatically citizens at birth regardless of the nationalities of their parents. Individuals born in the country since that date receive Irish citizenship at birth if at least one of their parents is an Irish citizen (or entitled to be one), a British citizen, or a long-term resident on the island of Ireland. Persons born in Northern Ireland are usually entitled to (but not automatically granted) Irish citizenship largely under the same terms. Foreign nationals may become Irish citizens by naturalisation after meeting a minimum residence requirement (usually five years).
