Comhdháil na Múinteoirí le Rincí Gaelacha

Comhdháil na Múinteoirí le Rincí Gaelacha (English: The Congress of Irish Dance Teachers), also referred to as An Chomhdháil (the Congress), is a global governing body for Irish stepdance. Founded in the early 1960s, and then breaking from An Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha to become an independent organisation, An Chomhdháil is today the second-largest Irish dance organisation and one of six to run a World Championships competition.

It emphasises a democratic approach to this governance and represents the interests of Irish dancing teachers in its decision making processes.
