Ireland was divided up into counties by the English crown around 400 years ago. Since then, the counties have remained largely unchanged. In Northern Ireland they survive merely as curiosities - not having any actual purpose any more. In the Republic of Ireland, however, these historic divisions are still used as the basis of local government. Ireland map outlines below shows the 32 counties in the island of Ireland (26 in the Republic of Ireland and 6 in Northern Ireland) as well as some of the major towns (in italics).

The counties of Ireland (Irish: contaetha na hÉireann; Ulster-Scots: coonties o Airlann) as its shown in Ireland map outlines are sub-national divisions that have been, and that in some cases continue to be, used to geographically demarcate areas of local government. The now obsolete concept of county corporate designated a small number of towns or cities which were deemed to be no less important than the existing counties in which they lay, thus acquiring county status in their own right. The older term "shire" was historically equivalent to "county". By the early 17th century, all of the Kingdom of Ireland had been shired. These land divisions were formed following the Norman invasion of Ireland in imitation of the units of local government then in use in the Kingdom of England.

Ireland consists of four provinces, broken up into 32 counties as follows: Province of Connaught: Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo. Province of Leinster: Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly (previously known as King Co), Westmeath, Wexford and Wicklow. Province of Munster: Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford. Province of Ulster:Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan are in the Republic of Ireland; Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Derry and Tyrone are in Northern Ireland, a part of the UK. The main towns of Ireland, historically, were Dublin and Cork. Belfast grew significantly in the 19th century. In the Republic, Galway, Limerick and Waterford have all become major cities during the course of the last 100 years or so.
