70 years and counting

The Irish Club of WA was founded in 1950, to create a hub for Irish emigrants to have a place to socialise and build a sense of community in a foreign land. Over the years, the Club has expanded its role in Western Australian society.

Where once, it was a one-way trip to the Great Southern Continent, today’s Irish population in WA can travel home with great ease. To help the Irish Club maintain and re-imagine itself as the hub of Irish Culture in WA.
