Engineers Without Borders Ireland is an international development organisation for students and professionals from Ireland who share a common interest in sustainable development through engineering and appropriate technologies.

The organisation was initially founded in 2007, and partook in a two-week project in the Sonairte: The National Ecology Centre in Co. Meath, Ireland. After a lull in activities, a small group of engineers began discussions on reviving EWB-Ireland in 2009. These discussions led to the formation of EWB-Ireland's first ever national committee in January 2010. The committee is a small group of engineers from numerous disciplines, located throughout the country.{{Cite web |url=http://www.ewb-ireland.org/history |title=EWB-Ireland Website - History |access-date=2011-01-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726042858/http://www.ewb-ireland.org/history |archive-date=2011-07-26 |url-status=dead }}
