O'Malley Clan Gathering 2026

The annual O'Malley Clan Gathering is the highlight of our year. We welcome O'Malleys, Ó Máilles, Malleys, Melias and all the other variants of the name, as well as their families and friends, to Ireland for a weekend of history, feasting and fellowship! Join us in June 2026, in Ennis, Co Clare for the first time in over 70 years of O'Malley Clan Gatherings. Chieftain Denise, a Clare native, is preparing some very special events with traditional Irish music to the fore. Visit our booking site to see all the details and reserve your place. Please note that some events have limited capacity and are likely to book out well in advance, so get your booking in as soon as possible.   

See our Past Gatherings page to get a flavour of the event and how it has developed since the early days.

We greatly appreciate the support of Clare Co Council for our event. 

Here's where the Gathering will be on! There are flights into Shannon and Dublin direct from the East coast of the US and Canada, as well as from all over Europe. There are also flights into Cork from all over Europe. Many European airports can link flights from North America, Asia and Autralasia with flights to Ireland.

The year 2030 will be the 500th Anniversary of the birth of Granuaile, our famous Pirate Queen Ancestor. We are discussing ideas for marking this important year and would welcome input from O'Malleys everywhere. Please contact us at omalleyclanireland@gmail.com if you have any suggestions to make. Watch this space for future announcements.
