Kilkenny, ( is a city and county town of County Kilkenny in Ireland. Ballinasloe ( is a town in the eastern extremity of County Galway in Ireland. The spread began in the 1830s and many clubs, still in existence today, were founded in the next 30 years.

The first Irish National team took the field in 1855 long before any Test Match was ever played. The match was -v- The Gentlemen of England in Dublin.

Charles Lawrence, an Englishman, was in Dublin playing, coaching and developing the game in Ireland in the 1850s. He went to Australia with H. H. Stevenson's team in 1861 and stayed to coach the ever growing numbers playing there.

The touring professional teams all came to Ireland in the 1850s and 1860s. The first match -v- M. C. C. was in 1858.

The spread of cricket continued until the early 1880s. Two events then became retarding factors. The first was the outbreak of land wars when Landlord and Tenant were alienated. the second was a ban placed on the playing of foreign games by the Gaelic Athletic Association who are the guardians of the native Irish games of Hurling and Gaelic football, this ban was not lifted until 1970.
