Irish Argentines

Common card · No. 460744

Irish Argentines are Argentine citizens who are fully or partially of Irish descent. Irish emigrants to Argentina predominantly came from the midlands and south-east (particularly Wexford) regions of Ireland, arriving largely between 1830 and 1930, with the greatest wave taking place in 1850–1870. The modern Irish-Argentine community is composed of some of their descendants, and the total number is estimated at between 500,000 and 1,000,000. Argentina is the home of the fifth largest Irish community in the world, the largest in a non-English speaking nation and the greatest in Latin America.
