A County High Point is any of the thirty-one locations on the official list of Ireland's major geographical High Points which represents the highest point in at least one of Ireland's thirty-two counties. These thirty-one locations appear on the list as twenty-seven entries (the extra four locations result from Slieve Donard and Moylussa each having two options, and the summits of Galtymore Mountain and Arderin not being perfectly shared between their respective pairs of counties). Ireland's County High Points are occasionally referred to as "Ireland's County Tops" or "Ireland's County Peaks". Walking route details can be found in the book Ireland's County High Points: A Walking Guide*. In the High Point Ireland leagues, awards, and challenge initiatives, this entire sub-list is worth a total of 303 points and 16,959 metres.
