Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band of St. Paul, Minnesota is a Grade 4 bagpipe band based in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro Area of Minnesota. The band has performed with Green Day and Blink-182. The band primarily plays celtic music with an Irish emphasis. In 2007 the band became a 501c3 non-profit. They have approx. 20 members and a dozen students.

They practice at an Irish Merchandise warehouse called the Irish Rose in West St. Paul. The band performs annually at the Minnesota Irish Fair, Minnesota Scottish Fair and the South Dakota Celtic Faire
