The 83rd National Ploughing Championships is under way at Ratheniska near Stradbally in Co Laois.
More than 200,000 people are expected to attend the three-day event, which will feature around 1,400 exhibitors.
It is Europe's largest outdoor exhibition and agricultural trade show.
This is the second consecutive year that the National Ploughing Championships have been held in Ratheniska.
The event has become the flagship event in the Irish agri-food calendar.
However, it is no longer just about ploughing, machinery and farm animals.
Every aspect of Irish life is covered, with 1,400 trade stands and 800 acres in the entire site.
The gates opened at 8am, and with six separate access routes, gardaí are advising people to plan their journey.
Drivers are asked to take note of the colour code of the car parks they use.
It is expected that there will be some traffic congestion in the area.
President Michael D Higgins performed an official opening at midday.
Politicians from all parties and the vast majority of media organisations will attend the event over the coming days.
