The company already employs around 100 people here, having set up an office in the city in 2014.
The firm opened a new office premises in Dublin this morning, which has capacity for up to 300 people.
"Dublin has provided a vibrant home to our EMEA team since 2014 when we established our original European headquarters in the city," said Mark Sachleben, New Relic's chief financial officer.
"As many leading companies in Europe have accelerated the adoption of cloud and digital transformation, we’re excited about the opportunity to help these organisations get real-time performance insights to innovate faster," he added.
The business also has offices across Europe including in London, Munich, and Zurich, as well as a European Development Center in Barcelona.
The investment has been supported by the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland.
Both the Government and the IDA have welcomed the announcement.
"The European headquarters in Dublin is an important location for New Relic as it both serves and grows its customer base in Europe," commented IDA chief executive Martin Shanahan.
"Ireland is home to many established and high-growth companies. International companies continue to be attracted to Ireland due to the ease of access to a talented workforce in the region," Mr Shanahan added.
