A squad of 16 has been named to represent Ireland in the Women's Field Hockey tournament at Tokyo 2020.
The squad which qualified for the Olympics for the first time in November 2019 will be supplemented by three travelling reserves, including a goalkeeper.
Ireland's Group A campaign gets underway on 24 July against South Africa, before further pool fixtures against Netherlands, Germany, India and Great Britain.
"With competition in our squad at its best and only 16 spots available, we always knew this was going to be the toughest selection," said captain Katie Mullan.
"Thirty one players have played a massive role in our preparations over the past 10 months and we are honoured to represent the Green Army at the Olympic games.
"There has been a tremendous amount of work put in by the girls and each of them deserve this opportunity. It's an exciting time for us and our families."
Head coach Sean Dancer, whose team recently missed out on automatic World Cup qualification after finishing sixth at the EuroHockey Championship in the Netherlands earlier this month, added that they will look to learn from that setback.
"The Olympics is the pinnacle of our sport. We are excited and privileged to be the group representing Ireland's women's team at their first ever Olympics," he said.
"It is important to acknowledge all the hard work and sacrifice of everyone that has been involved now and in previously with the team to get to this point.
"We are going to take the key lessons from the recent Europeans to make the gains we need for the Olympics."
