Ireland in Cyprus
Despite our geographical distance, Ireland and Cyprus have developed a deep and meaningful connection.
This bond is rooted in our shared history, with both countries emerging as independent island nations and joining the European Union.

Ireland’s Global Footprint to 2025

Recently, Cyprus celebrated its 20th anniversary of becoming part of the European Union family. During Ireland’s Presidency of the EU in 2004, the Cypriot flag proudly flew alongside those of nine other new member states at Dublin's Phoenix Park. Since then, our nations have cultivated close ties in education, culture, and trade.
However, our strong relationship extends far beyond our EU membership. Since 1964, Irish peacekeepers have served with the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), earning the respect and trust of the local communities, and establishing Ireland's reputation as a fair, peacekeeping nation.
For a number of Irish peacekeepers, Cyprus became a second home. Many choose to relocate permanently after their service, joining the small but vibrant Irish community on the island.
Facilitated by weekly direct flights, Cyprus is becoming an increasingly popular destination for Irish holidaymakers throughout the year.
