See also: Place names in Ireland and List of Irish exonyms

The following places in countries other than Ireland are named after places in Ireland.

Massive emigration, often called the Irish diaspora, from Ireland in the 19th and 20th centuries resulted in many towns and regions being named or renamed after places in Ireland.
