List of All-Ireland Fleadh Champions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page lists some of those who have won the senior championships at the Fleadh Cheoil since its founding in 1951 by Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. Traditionally, those who place in the top three places in the senior championships are entitled to refer to themselves as "All-Ireland Champion," not only the winner. There are also competitions for ensembles, and different age groups; a list of the categories are found here^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]}
