The United States Ambassador to Ireland is the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary from the United States of America to Ireland. It is considered a highly prestigious position within the United States Foreign Service.


The chief of mission for the United States in Ireland held the title of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from 1927 through 1950, and six people served in the role.[1] Since 1950, the title has been ambassador, and 23 people have served in the role.[1] Only the first envoy, Frederick A. Sterling, was a career Foreign Service Officer – other envoys, and all ambassadors to date, have been non-career appointees.[1] The first four envoys were commissioned to the Irish Free State,[1] prior to the formation of the State.


The ambassador and embassy staff at large work at the Ballsbridge Chancery of the Embassy of the United States, Dublin.[2]Deerfield Residence is the official residence of the ambassador, located in the Phoenix Park, Dublin.[3]


Kevin O'Malley, an Irish American St. Louis attorney, was the most recent ambassador. O'Malley was nominated by President Barack Obama on June 5, 2014, confirmed by the United States Senate on September 18, 2014, sworn-in by Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry on September 30, 2014, and presented his credentials to President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins on October 8, 2014.[4][5] O'Malley served until January 20, 2017, the date of the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump.


In December 2016, Maggie Haberman of The New York Times reported that then president-elect Trump intended to name Brian P. Burns as the next ambassador to Ireland.[6] However, in June 2017, Burns withdrew his name from consideration, due to ill health.[7] Reece Smyth is the current chargé d'affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Ireland.[8]

It succeeded the Resettlement Administration (1935–1937). [1] The FSA stressed "rural rehabilitation" efforts to improve the lifestyle of sharecroppers, tenants, very poor landowning farmers, and a program to purchase submarginal land owned by poor farmers and resettle them in group farms on land more suitable for efficient farming. Critics, including the Farm Bureau, strongly opposed the FSA as an experiment in collectivizing agriculture—that is, in bringing
