According to epodunk (google it), Spring Lake is the most Irish city in New Jersey, and the United States as a whole at nearly 40% Irish.
The rest of the top ten cities in Jersey for Irish concentration, in descending order: Avon-by-the-Sea, Gloucester City, Sea Girt, Spring Lake Heights, Sea Isle City, Brooklawn, North Wildwood, Port Monmouth, Monmouth Beach, and Belford.

I know many people of Irish descent in Sea Isle! There are Irish shops, and many children in that town take Irish Step-dancing lessons.
The entire Cape May County area is known for the Irish Catholic population, there's a great Irish Festival in Wildwood every September. What a turn-out they get!!
They call this area the "Irish Riviera" if that's any help!  |

Bergenfield is home to the Bergen County St Patrick's day parade. There is an active Irish association headquartered in neighboring Dumont. There is a great Irish pub and there are coeli dances and Irish cultural societies in that part of Bergen County. You'll even meet people who play gaelic football!

The Morristown area has a pretty big Irish population, plus one of the largest St. Patrick's day parades in the state.
I think the town with the highest concentration of Irish people in the USA is actually Upper Darby, PA, which is outside of Philly.
