It saw service in the second boer war, great war, the second world war and the korean war, before being amalgamated into the royal irish rangers in 1968. The regiment's history dates backs to the reign of king george iii. In 1793 the british army expanded to meet the commitments of the war with the french first republic.
As part of that expansion it raised two new regiments of foot, the 83rd and the 86th. At the same time the counties antrim, down and louth regiments of militia were raised. In 1881, under the childers reforms, the 83rd and 86th were amalgamated into a single regiment, named the royal irish rifles.
It was one of eight regiments raised and garrisoned in ireland and was the county regiment of antrim, down and louth, with its garrison depot located at belfast. Militarily, the whole of ireland was administered as a separate command within the united kingdom with command headquarters at parkgate (phoenix park) dublin, directly under the war office in london. Length varies: approximately 27-28 long.
