Limerick City is a parliamentary constituency in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects 4 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs). The method of election is the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV).
The Constituency Commission proposed in 2007 that at the next general election a new constituency called Limerick City be created.
It was established by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2009 when it replaced the former constituency of Limerick East. Most of the rural parts of the Limerick East constituency were transferred to the Limerick constituency, itself now abolished. Limerick City was first represented at the 2011 general election.
The constituency comprises Limerick City and suburbs, part of County Limerick and a small part of County Clare.
The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013 defines the constituency as:
