The Flag of Munster is a historical banner associated with one of the provinces of Ireland, specifically located in the southern region. It consists of three vertical stripes in the colors green, white, and gold or yellow. The flag represents the province of Munster, which is traditionally divided into four counties: Cork, Kerry, Limerick, and Waterford.
Although the current design of the Flag of Munster is not officially recognized as a governmental symbol in Ireland, it holds significant cultural importance within Munster's communities. The flag's colors have been interpreted to represent hope (white), victory (green), and gold or wealth (yellow).
The Flag of Munster has its roots dating back to the 13th century when the province was divided into four quarters, each with a different color scheme. The modern version of the flag is believed to have been adopted during the 1920s as part of the Irish War of Independence.
