Comhairle na Mumhan is a subsidary body of An Coimisiun le Rince Galeacha.

Comhairle na Mumhan aims to foster Irish Dancing in the Munster Region at all levels.

Each year, the Comhairle organizes three main events and there are:

1. Oireachtas Rince na Mumhan, which is the qualifying event in the Region for Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne, the World Irish Dancing Championships.This is usually held in the November time.

2. Fo-Comortaisi, Oireachtas Rince na Mumhan and often called the Min-Munsters. The english name labelled many years ago is something of a mis-nomer given the size of the entry. This event is usually held in the April/May timeframe.

3. Oireachtas Rince na Scoile or the Schools Competition. This event is run for dancers who are learning in National Schools. This is primarily a team competition event.
