IP ranges in Ireland

This page lists the IPv4 address blocks registered to organisations in Ireland and checks single addresses. The basics of IP addresses, masks and subnets are in Networks; the other countries are in IP ranges by country.

Ireland in numbers

The 48 countries here hold 725,908,608 IPv4 addresses; Ireland has 10,010,432 in 731 blocks, 1.38% of the total, rank 16 of 48. The country just above it is Austria with 11,181,664 addresses (1.54%), the one just below Czechia with 9,160,384 addresses (1.26%). There are 731 blocks: 578 allocated (79.1%) and 153 assigned (20.9%). The oldest block was delegated in 1988 and the newest in 2026; 2019 is the year with the most new blocks. The largest share of the addresses, 4,785,408 of 10,010,432 (47.8%), came in the 1990s. The same RIPE file lists 211 IPv6 prefixes and 290 AS numbers for Ireland.

Check an IP address

Type an IPv4 address. The answer comes from the Sypex Geo database on this server; like every geolocation database it can be wrong, especially about the city.

Where the list comes from

IP addresses are handed out by five regional internet registries. For Ireland the registry is RIPE NCC, which publishes every day which address blocks it has delegated to which country. A block registered in Ireland is usually used there, but not always: a company may use its addresses abroad, and a VPN makes any visitor look like someone else.

The table below is the RIPE file of 2026-10-29: 731 blocks with 10,010,432 addresses. The largest block holds 1,114,112 addresses and starts at 57.207.0.0.

Get the list yourself

Download the statistics file of RIPE NCC:

curl -s -O https://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/delegated-ripencc-latest

The first line says when it was made; the sixth field is the date:

head -1 delegated-ripencc-latest

2|ripencc|1793314799|167770|19700101|20261029|+0100

Each later line is one block: registry, country, type, first address, number of addresses, date and status. The IPv4 blocks of Ireland, sorted by first address:

awk -F'|' '$2=="IE" && $3=="ipv4"' delegated-ripencc-latest | sort -t'|' -k1,1V | head -3

ripencc|IE|ipv4|2.57.24.0|1024|20190315|allocated ripencc|IE|ipv4|2.58.180.0|1024|20190322|allocated ripencc|IE|ipv4|2.59.104.0|1024|20190326|allocated

How many blocks, and how many addresses they hold together:

awk -F'|' '$2=="IE" && $3=="ipv4"' delegated-ripencc-latest | wc -l

731

awk -F'|' '$2=="IE" && $3=="ipv4" {s+=$5} END {print s}' delegated-ripencc-latest

10010432

allocated means RIPE gave the block to a provider (a LIR) to hand out further; assigned means it went to an end user directly.

Who owns a block

The statistics name no owners. The RIPE database does: ask it with whois for any address of a block, and look at the lines netname, descr and org:

whois 57.207.0.1

All IPv4 blocks in Ireland

From the RIPE file of 2026-10-29, sorted by address. The last address is the first one plus the size minus one.
