The Irish Poker Open is the longest running No Limit Texas Hold'em poker tournament in Europe and second longest in the world after the World Series of Poker and is traditionally held over Easter weekend each year in Dublin, a city renowned for a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The venue is The Burlington Hotel, which is in the centre of Dublin and within walking distance of an extensive range of pubs, nightclubs and all sorts of other entertainment options for the weekend.

The 2008 Irish Open Main Event was won by English poker pro Neil Channing, who took home the winner's purse of €801,400 after defeating local favorite Donal Norton heads up.

More recently the 2009 Irish Open Main Event was won by Swedish professional Christer Johansson, who won a €600,000 first prize. He beat British-Canadian Kara-Scott and Canadian professional Andrew Pantling after an epic final table duel.

In 2010, James Mitchell defeated Ireland's Paul Carr in a lengthy heads up battle to take the title and over €600,000.

Last year in 2011, Nial Smyth walked away with €550,000 after beating runner-up Surinder Sunar who grabbed €290,000.
