The Irish National Quidditch team is the National Squad of Ireland in Quidditch tournaments including the Quidditch World Cup. They first appear in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
History[]
During the 422nd Quidditch World Cup, Ireland flattened Peru in one of their games.[1] The team flew on Firebolts.[2] In the campsites near the venue, Irish fans decorated their tents with shamrocks.[3]
Ireland reached the final where they played against Bulgaria. Some people considered Ireland the favourites to win because they had seven decent players while Bulgaria only had Viktor Krum.[1] According to Ludovic Bagman, Ireland had the strongest front three players that he had seen in years.[3] Before the game, representatives for Ireland put on a spectacular light display using leprechauns who dropped gold coins over the spectators.[2]
