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.

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. The 59th Annual National Specialty will be conducted on October 6, 2019.

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.  The schedule for the upcoming Traveling Specialty:
