Albertirsa (formerly Alberti-Irsa, Slovak: Irša) is a town in Ceglédi kistérség, Pest megye, and the middle of the Great Hungarian Plain. Although it has got its town status in 2003, it still has its village-scent that is so common for most of the inhabitations in the region.
Initially Albertirsa was two separate inhabitations: Alberti and Irsa, having joined in 1950.
