Cuba–Ireland relations refers to thebilateral relations betweenIreland andCuba. Both countries are members of theUnited Nations.
Cuba and Ireland established diplomatic relations on 27 October 1999.[1] Cuba opened their embassy in Dublin in 2001 while Ireland opened an honorary consulate in Cuba in 2002 but closed at an unknown date.
In 2019, Ireland and Cuba celebrated 20 years of relations.[2]
Most Irish Cubans are unaware of their Irish ancestry, that of important intellectuals like the O'Farrill family, Antonio Guiteras Holmes, or Julio Antonio Mella, to name just a few. Through their veins ran blood from the region known in antiquity as "the land of Éire," a word from which the current name of that nation comes.
It is estimated that there are around 50,000-80,000 Cubans of Irish descent on the island. Major region with Irish Cubans are Havana, Holguín and Matanzas.
