The International Women’s Club of Dublin (IWCD) is a social club with two main objectives.
One is to welcome and assist newcomers and their families to Ireland.
The other is to further members’ knowledge and understanding of Ireland.
Being a part of the IWCD will help make Dublin feel like home more quickly by making new friends
and participating in some of the many activities that we offer.
You will have the support of women who are established within Dublin.
The IWCD is entirely volunteer run, and offers a variety of activities throughout the club year.
monthly meetingsOur monthly meetings are an opportunity to meet other members over a cup of coffee or tea, and listen to guest speakers who talk on a variety of interesting subjects. The Club meets monthly in Stillorgan from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm on the second Tuesday of each month during our membership season that runs from September to June. |
Language conversation groups
Learning a language through a friendly conversation is the best way to master it. Our English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Russian Conversation Groups will help you to become fluent through their gentle and friendly guidance over a cup of tea or coffee. These groups meet once or twice a month.

golf lessons and golf societyMembers of the IWCD have the opportunity to learn to play golf or improve their golf through private lessons and playing with the golf society! Lessons have been ongoing for nearly 10 years. We have all levels from beginners to great golfers, all looking to improve their game and share a coffee or tea afterwards and chat. It is a very positive and encouraging environment that keeps the ladies coming back. |
hillwalkingOn the doorstep of Dublin City are the wonderful Wicklow Mountains, which offer spectacular panoramic views of the sea, lakes, forests and countryside. The Dublin coastline also provides picturesque routes to walk along. Discover all this and more with the IWCD Hill Walking group. Participants have mentioned these (amongst other) benefits: feeling fitter, making new friends, improving their language skills, enjoying the beautiful Irish countryside. |

We invite you to join these exciting once-a-month food related activities such as food styling and photography, food foraging, jam making, food history, food tours and lots more fun and delicious discoveries. |
Coffee mornings
Coffee Mornings are an amazing way to meet with people living in your area. With over 300+ members in and around Dublin, it's nice to have a close network of friends who are always eager to welcome newcomers and help them to settle in their new environment. Each coffee area meets several times per year at a Member's house for some pastries and tea/coffee.
