Boxing Ireland is the national governing body for amateur boxing on the island of Ireland, developing and controlling the sport. Founded in 1911 all, it operates from the National Stadium in Dublin.

Originally the Irish Amateur Boxing Association (IABA), it was renamed the Irish Athletic Boxing Association in 2016, and then Boxing Ireland in 2026.
