GameStop Ireland was originally founded in 1994 by Kevin Neary and Michael Finucane as Gamesworld. Gamesworld began trading at the rear of an established bookstore in Dublin and grew organically during its first nine years to record a €15 million turnover and a store count of 11 stores.

In 2003 Gamesworld were approached by GameStop to engage in a transaction that saw a controlling interest purchased by GameStop. The organisation re-branded and was tasked with carrying out an aggressive expansion plan throughout Ireland and into the UK, which is currently underway. GameStop currently operate 49 stores in Ireland and 7 in the United Kingdom.
