All-Ireland Drama Festival

The All-Ireland Drama Festival, known for sponsorship reasons as the "RTÉ All-Ireland Drama Festival", is an amateur theatre competition organised by the Amateur Drama Council of Ireland. It takes place in the Dean Crowe Theatre, Athlone, County Westmeath each May. Amateur drama groups from across the island are chosen from a long-list to present a production in the venue, and the best production is awarded the grand prize.

A fringe festival includes a short-film competition. A playwrighting competition for secondary school students is also included in the festival.
