Squash Ireland is the governing body for the sport of squash in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Founded in 1935[1] as the Irish Squash Rackets Association,[2][3] H.J. Ryan was elected as its first honorary secretary and Sir Basil Goudling was the first honorary treasurer.[4] The organisation later became known as the Irish Squash Federation and Irish Squash before rebranding as Squash Ireland in 2024.[5][6]

It is recognised by Sport Ireland as the governing body for squash in Ireland,[7] and is also a member of the World Squash Federation (WSF) and European Squash Federation (ESF).[8]

Squash Ireland organises the annual Irish National Squash Championships, which began in 1972.[2]
