Ireland's men's national football team has qualified for the UEFA European Championship (the Euros) 3 times - in 1988, 2012 and 2016. Their best performance is reaching the round of 16 in 2016. The team did not qualify for Euro 2024.

The journey toward a major international tournament is always met with immense anticipation and passion throughout the country. Every qualifying campaign sends Irish punters to the markets — football betting sites in Ireland price the Boys in Green from the first fixture. This allows fans to back their team from the very start, following every tactical adjustment and crucial goal as the national side fights for a place on the world stage.
