A Chronology of Irish History to 1976 is volume VIII of "A New History of Ireland", a ten-volume series on all aspects of Irish history and culture, published between 1977 and 2006.

Subtitled "A Companion to Irish History Part I", the introduction describes it as:

"We have here attempted to provide what has hitherto been almost entirely lacking, a chart of events in the history of Ireland from the earliest times to 1976 ... in addition to scientific dating on archaeological evidence, we have inserted a few pseudo-historical dates to illustrate the view medieval Irishmen had of their prehistory."

The Chronology is divided into the following sections:

Prehistoric and early Ireland:
- (A) to 431, by Francis John Byrne, Charles Doherty and M.J. O'Kelly, pp. 12-16.
- (B) 432 to 1169, by F.J. Byrne and Charles Doherty, pp.16-71.

Medieval Ireland 1169 to 1534, by F.J. Byrne, F.X. Martin and Darach Mac Fhionnbhair, pp.76-194.

Early Modern Ireland 1534 to 1603, by Darach Mac Fhionnbhair and J. G. Simms, pp.196-221.
- 1603 to 1691, T.W. Moody, J.G. Simms and C. J. Woods, pp. 222-253.
