Blank map of Ireland
The outline, free as a PNG, SVG or PDF. Label it, colour it in or drop it into a slide.

Using a blank map of Ireland
If you need the shape of Ireland for something of your own, this page has it as a file in two versions. Outline only is the country with nothing inside it, and With borders adds its 34 administrative areas. Each is a PNG with a transparent background, an SVG or a PDF for A4 or Letter.
Which version and which file
The political blank map of Ireland is With borders: the areas drawn in, no names. Pick it for labelling and quizzes. Outline only suits a silhouette on a cover or a place marker on a bigger design. Take the PNG for worksheets and slides, the SVG for Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma, and a PDF to print the outline as it stands.
A worksheet in your own style
In a word processor, drop the With borders PNG in the middle of the page and write a word bank down one side: Mayo, Meath, Kerry and Louth are four to start with. Pupils draw a line from each name to its area and check against the key further down this page. A second task can use a slide of Outline only, shown with no title, for pupils to name.
Ireland beside the United Kingdom
The fact sheet names the United Kingdom as a land neighbour, which suits a slide about two markets. Put the PNG of Ireland next to the PNG from the blank map of the United Kingdom; both have transparent backgrounds, so the slide colour shows through behind each.

Questions people ask
Is there a political blank map of Ireland?
Yes, the With borders version. It draws the 34 administrative areas inside the outline, with no names, so you can label them yourself in a worksheet, a slide or a design.
Can I open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma?
Yes. The SVG is a vector file, so the outline and the lines between areas stay sharp at any size and can be recoloured, thickened or traced in a design tool.
Is there an answer key for a labelling quiz?
Yes. The list further down this page names every area that With borders draws. Number the ones you want pupils to find and mark their answers against the list.
Does the PNG have a transparent background?
Yes. The area around Ireland is see-through, so the shape takes the colour of the slide or page behind it, whether that is white, a theme colour or a tinted box.
