The constituency was created under the Electoral Act 1923 for the 1923 general election to Dáil Éireann, whose members formed the 4th Dáil.[1]
From 1923 to 1937, Mayo North elected 4 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs). Under the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935, this was reduced to 3 with effect from the 1937 general election.
It was abolished under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1969, when it and Mayo South were replaced by the two new constituencies of Mayo East and Mayo West.
The constituency covered the county electoral areas of Ballina, Killala and Swinford, in the administrative county of Mayo.[1]
