What is The Irish
American Power 250?

Legacy is not inherited. It is built.

As the United States marks its 250^th anniversary, The Irish American Power 250 is the first definitive benchmark publication of its kind: an authoritative record of Irish American influence and impact, profiling the leaders of Irish heritage shaping the nation today and defining what comes next. Spanning business, politics, and culture, it brings together the established figures and the rising generation writing a new chapter in the Irish American story.

From Wall Street to Capitol Hill, from Silicon Valley to the arts, Irish Americans have long helped steer the decisions that shape American and global life, and a new generation is doing so now. A 250^th anniversary is the natural moment to put that contribution on the record and to honor the people carrying it forward.

We celebrate their impact and excellence at a landmark gala, where the 250 honorees, alongside our Outstanding Contribution and Lifetime Achievement Award recipients, will be recognized on both the national and global stage.

The Irish American Power 250 list will be published by Conexus and distributed to a premium audience of over 3 million readers via its publication partners. Each guest at the Gala & Awards on 23^rd February 2027 will be presented with a printed souvenir limited edition copy.
