GAELCON IRISH GAMES ASSOCIATION COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The Irish Games Association (IGA) is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee that exists to champion non-electronic gaming across the island. Its flagship event, Gaelcon, is Ireland's longest-running independent gaming convention, bringing together board-game enthusiasts, collectible-card players, tabletop role-players, live-action role-players and wargamers for several days of play, workshops and community activities.

Beyond organising Gaelcon each October, the IGA supports the wider gaming community by publicising events, offering advice and resources to fellow organisers, and running charitable initiatives such as its annual auction in partnership with Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland. Membership is open to anyone who wishes to back the association's mission, with a modest supportership fee.

Based in Dublin and serving gamers throughout Ireland, the IGA provides a friendly hub for hobbyists to connect, share their passion and enjoy a social break from everyday life. Its focus on inclusive, tabletop-based gaming makes it a vital catalyst for the vibrant Irish gaming scene.
