Comhaltas CeoltóiràÃÂireann (; meaning "Society of the musicians of Ireland") is the primary Irish organisation dedicated to the promotion of the music, song, dance and the language of Ireland. The organisation was founded in 1951 and has promoted Irish music and culture among the Irish people and the Irish diaspora.
Its current Ardstiúrthóir (Director General) is Labhrás àMurchú and its Uachtarán (president) is Attracta NàBhrádaigh. It has more than 400 branches worldwide with tens of thousands of members, in Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, France, Spain, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Russia, Australia and New Zealand.
Comhaltas was founded in 1951 in Mullingar, County Westmeath by a group of traditional musicians and other Gaelic culture advocates from around Ireland, seeking to improve the standing of traditional Irish music, dance and language in Ireland. The first Fleadh Cheoil was held in Mullingar in 1951. The organisation was initially named Cumann Ceoltóiràna hÃÂireann, changing to its present name in 1952.
Six years after the creation of Comhaltas CeoltóiràÃÂireann, in 1957, Comhaltas na Breataine or Comhaltas in Britain was established. The first branch outside of Ireland was based in Glasgow where a many Irish immigrants settled during the 50s and 60s. As of 2024, it now hosts over 24 branches across England, Scotland and Wales.
Comhaltas is responsible for organising the annual national Irish music festival and competition called the Fleadh Cheoil.
Comhaltas has published a magazine called Treoir relating to Irish traditional music since 1970.
