The Ireland men's national basketball team (Irish: Foireann cispheile náisiúnta na hÉireann) represents the island of Ireland in international basketball. It is governed by Basketball Ireland with players from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Ireland plays their home matches at the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght, Dublin.

Ireland has little history on the international stage, as they have yet to qualify for top tournaments such as the EuroBasket or the FIBA Basketball World Cup. However, the national team did manage to reach the Summer Olympics once, in 1948.^[2] Ireland is currently participating in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 European Pre-Qualifiers.^[3]
