The Irish Conservative Party, often called the Irish Tories, was one of the dominant Irish political parties in Ireland in the 19th century. Throughout much of the century it and the Irish Liberal Party battled for electoral dominance among Ireland's small electorate, with various parties such as the movements of Daniel O'Connell and later the Independent Irish Party relegated into third place. As late as 1859, the Irish Conservative Party still won the majority of Irish seats in Westminster, in that year's general election.
