Irish Cup
De Irish Cup is het nationale voetbalbekertoernooi van Noord-Ierland dat wordt georganiseerd door de Noord-Ierse voetbalbond (IFA). Het mag niet verward worden met de FAI Cup, de Ierse voetbalbeker.
Bij de aanvang van de beker was Ierland nog niet onafhankelijk en namen teams van het hele eiland deel. Na 1921 was de cup enkel nog voorbehouden voor Noord-Ierse teams. De winnaar plaatste zich tot en met het seizoen 1998/99 voor de Europacup II, vanaf 1999/00 voor de UEFA Cup, vanaf het seizoen 2009/10 voor de Europa League en vanaf het seizoen 2021/22 voor de Conference League.
