Old Moore's Almanac is an almanac which has been published annually in Ireland since 1764. It was originally written and published by Theophilus Moore who ran a classical academy at Milltown which was then a village near Dublin. The almanac is still published today and usefully includes tide tables, horse racing fixtures and fair and livestock mart dates.
The almanac is not to be confused with Old Moore's Almanack (with a "k"), an English publication dating from 1697.
