Founded in 1928, the Irish Linen Guild is the official promotional organization of the Irish Linen industry. Our main role is to promote Irish Linen in national and international markets through the Guild website, and to provide a networking opportunity for our members.

The Irish Linen brand's trademark is the focus of all promotional activities. It can only be used to mark genuine Irish linen products such as linen yarn spun in Ireland and linen fabrics woven in Ireland by members of the Guild.

Products made from genuine Irish woven fabric, such as garments or table linens, can be labelled 'Irish linen' although sometimes the made up item may have been assembled elsewhere. The term Irish linen refers to the constituent fabric.
