Welcome to Iron Butt Association Ireland.

The Iron Butt Association is an exclusive group of Motorcyclists dedicated to the sport of long distance motorcycling.

IBA Ireland is Authorised by the Iron Butt Association based in the United States.

IBA Ireland is not a club as such. There are no membership fees. There is only one way to become a member. You must successfully complete an IBA Certificate ride. However, you do not have to be an IBA member to attend any of our events

We also organise 24 hour Competitive rallies, Meetings and other informative and fun events.

The Iron Butt Association is dedicated to safe, long-distance, endurance motorcycle riding. Although based in the United States, we have over 40,000+ members world-wide. One of our more popular slogans is, "The World Is Our Playground."

The IBA hosts several rides, the most notable being the 11-day, 11,000+ mile Iron Butt Rally[tm]. In addition to the various "certificate " rides available we also host a number of Long Distance Rallies. The Bally Rally is a 24 hr event, whilst the Wolfhound Rally is an 75 hour marathon. Think of these events as the Irish Photo rally gone mad. Although these rallies may seem intimidating to the newcomer, plenty of assistance is on hand from the organisers and other competitors to explain what needs to be done to enable a rider to have a good chance of finishing one of these rallies.

Iron Butt UK hosts the 36 hr Brit Butt Rally which enables Irish riders to ride an event on "foreign" territory.

The Iron Butt Association (IBA) does not have membership in the traditional sense. We do not have yearly dues, formal meetings or a monthly newsletter. The IBA is a little more loose knit organization than most clubs.
