The Battle of Tara was fought between the Gaelic Irish of Meath, led by Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill, and the Norse Vikings of Dublin, led by Amlaíb Cuarán. It took place near the Hill of Tara in Ireland in the year 980. From the period of 950-980 AD, the Vikings had formed temporary alliances with certain Irish clans, enabling them to continue their perennial raids and plunder of the island, however they faced resistance from an alliance of Irish rulers who wanted to eliminate the Viking presence in southern Ireland. The battle was a devastating defeat for the Vikings and led to the Irish regaining control of Dublin.
Troideadh Cath na Teamhrach idir Gaeil na hÉireann as an Mhí, faoi stiúir Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill, agus Lochlannaigh Ríocht Dhuibhlinne (an tSean-Lochlainnis : Dyflin), faoi stiúir Amlaíb Cuarán. Tharla sé in aice le Teamhair in Éirinn sa bhliain 980. Briseadh tubaisteach a bhí sa chath do na Lochlannaigh, agus mar thoradh air sin, fuair na hÉireannaigh smacht ar ais ar Bhaile Átha Cliath.
