Template:Short description Template:See also Template:Use dmy dates Template:More citations needed The following places in countries other than Ireland are named after places in Ireland.

Massive emigration, often called the Irish diaspora, from Ireland in the 19th and 20th centuries resulted in many towns and regions being named or renamed after places in Ireland.

The following place names sometimes share strong ties with the original place name. Places named for Irish words but which are not current or historical places in Ireland are excluded.
