Welcome to the Irish Countrywomen’s Association

Welcome to the Irish Countrywomen's Association, the largest women's organisation in Ireland. This year - 2010 - we celebrate our Centenary - 100 years during which thousands of women have enjoyed the friendship and support of the ICA and the opportunities at our adult education college, An Grianan.

ICA members are everywhere in Ireland, in villages, towns and the neighbourhoods of our cities. We meet regularly and are involved in a wide range of activities within the ICA and in the community. Whatever your interest - sport, arts, drama, crafts, to name a few - we have a local Guild that will suit you. We welcome new members all the time and also enquiries from women wishing to start a new Guild.

During our Centenary we are celebrating our history and our continued relevant to thousands of women. We have been part of the great changes and social developments in Ireland during that time - from equal pay to rural water to cancer screening and many more - the voice of the ICA has remained a powerful influence. As we celebrate our past we are also planning for our future, so that many more women will enjoy the friendship, support and opportunities offered by being a member of the ICA.

Thank you for visiting - this is our new website and so is work in progress. Do call again when we hope to have added lots more news and information.
