ITCA Shows & Events
Montgomery Weekend:
Montgomery weekend is a special time for the ITCA as we host our National
Specialty and Annual Meeting. Each year, ITCA members from all over the world
come to Pennsylvania to compete and share in their love of the breed. In
addition to conformation, many come for the All-Terrier Agility and Obedience
Trials that are held during the week prior to that weekend.
National Specialty:
The ITCA's National Specialty has been held at the Montgomery Kennel Club
Show since 1961. There are consistently more than 70 entries,
providing a terrific venue for seeing Irish Terriers and meeting others who love
the breed. This is an event which should not be missed!
Traveling Specialty:
Not everyone can come to the Montgomery weekend, so each year the ITCA and
one of the ITCA Regional Clubs join forces to host an ITCA Specialty.
Regional Club Events:
In addition to ITCA events, our Regional Clubs hold an annual specialty and
sponsored entry events.

Several events are usually scheduled in a region for a given weekend. Be sure
to check for other dog shows and performance trials that coincide with these
dates. If you can't make the ones listed here, there may be another
opportunity so check for shows held in different parts of the country and on
other dates.
About one week before a show is held a judges program is published on the
Show Superintendent’s web site that will tell you how many Irish Terriers are
entered. Try to select shows where more than one Irish Terrier is entered.
