Irish America 250 – tell your Irish-American story

America Eire invites you to take part in a landmark storytelling initiative that will create a living archive of the stories, journeys, and histories of the Irish in America. This campaign honors the profound role and enduring legacy of the Irish and Irish Americans in shaping the nation from its earliest days. America Éire provides an opportunity to celebrate the deep ties and bonds between America and Ireland today.

Starting July 1, 2026, participants will be able to share their stories and each story will have its own dedicated webpage, preserving that person’s or family’s journey from Ireland to America. We invite people to tell their Irish story on the website, post about it on social media, and encourage others to do the same, so together we can create a dynamic digital time capsule of Irish America as the United States marks 250 years of existence.
