The Ireland national korfball team is managed by the Ireland Korfball Association (IKA), representing Ireland in korfball international competitions.
The team is almost entirely made up from expatriates and those of Irish heritage, mostly from Great Britain and the Benelux, as there is no korfball set up within Ireland.
The squad is an all-Ireland team and uses Ireland's Call as a national anthem.[1]
