The Circuit Court (An Chúirt Chuarda in Irish) of Ireland consists of a President and thirty-three judges.

For the purposes of the administration of justice the country is divided into eight circuits and at least one judge is assigned to each circuit. Cases heard in a circuit court include civil and criminal; family law and licensing applications are also heard in the court.

The civil jurisdiction is limited to a compensation claim not exceeding €38,092 and for actions involving real property with a rateable value of less than €254 (worth less than approx. €3 million euro). Divorce and judicial separation cases are also heard in the court provided that the value of any real property in a settlement is within the jurisdiction of the court.

The Court tries all indictable offences with a judge and jury with the exception of certain reserved offences (murder, capital murder, treason, rape, genocide) which must be tried by the Central Criminal Court. Terrorist offences and offences with an organised crime element are heard by the juryless Special Criminal Court.
