Irish Go Association
The Irish Go Association (IGA) promotes Go in Ireland, and is a member of both the International Go Federation and the European Go Federation.[1] It organises club and tournament events as well as teaching sessions.[1]
In 2001 the IGA and British Go Association ran the 45th European Go Congress in Dublin, which was attended by around 400 players.[2]
The IGA was founded in 1989, by the merging of two Dublin clubs - Trinity College and Collegians Chess and Go Club. The Association is cross-border, having affiliated clubs in Northern and Southern Ireland. Its national championship has run every year since 1990.
