The Irish mob is a collection of organized crime groups composed of largely ethnic Irish members operating primarily in the United States since the early 19th century. Originating in Irish-American street gangs, it has appeared in most major U.S. and Canadian cities, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. Notable historical gangs include the Dead Rabbits, Whyos, and the Westies. The group has been involved in various criminal activities such as murder, drug trafficking, and racketeering.
