The title of Earl of Limerick was created in the Peerage of Ireland in 1803, and previously in 1686. The earlier title became extinct in 1715, but the later one is still extant.
The Earl bears the subsidiary titles of Viscount Limerick (1800) and Baron Glentworth (1790) in the Peerage of Ireland and Baron Foxford (1815) in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. Until 1999, he sat in the House of Lords as Baron Foxford.
