Royal Irish Regiment cap badge of the pattern worn between 1992 and 2022 by the Royal Irish Regiment of the British Army. This British Army infantry cap badge displays the recognised insignia of the regiment in clear relief, incorporating the Erin go Bragh (Irish Harp) as the central device surmounted by the Queen’s Crown, arranged in a composition characteristic of modern British Army infantry headdress insignia.
The harp is a long-standing symbol associated with Irish regiments of the British Army and reflects the regiment’s heritage and identity. Formed in 1992, the regiment combined the traditions of earlier Irish infantry units and served extensively during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, including operational deployments in Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Manufactured in nickel-plated white metal consistent with modern British Army beret insignia, this example represents the lightweight pattern widely adopted for everyday service dress. Royal Irish Regiment cap badges are collected as examples of contemporary British Army militaria, Irish regimental insignia, and modern uniform hardware.
