What are the Counties of Ireland?

This quiz covers the 26 traditional counties of the Republic of Ireland. The island has 32 counties in total, six of which form Northern Ireland.

• The counties were created by Anglo-Norman and English administrations, often based on older Gaelic kingdoms.
• Dublin was the first, in the late 12th and early 13th centuries; Wicklow was the last, in 1606.
• They are grouped into four historic provinces: Leinster, Munster, Connacht and Ulster.
• Local government has changed since, with Dublin split into several council areas and Tipperary reunited in 2014.
• The traditional counties are still central to Irish identity, Gaelic sports and addresses.
