The Republic of Ireland national beach soccer team has represented Ireland in international beach soccer competitions, under the control of the Football Association of Ireland, the governing body for football in Ireland. After competing in the 2001 and 2002 seasons in the Euro Beach Soccer League and Cup, the team has been inactive since.
A number of notable former association footballers took part in the time the team was active, including former Arsenal and Manchester United forward, Frank Stapleton, and former Blackburn Rovers manager, Owen Coyle who in 2015 recalled his participation with fondness whilst commenting on the difficulty of adapting to a sand surface having played his career on grass.
