Waterford, like all counties in Ireland, suffered from mass emigration during traumatic and repressive periods in the country's history. There is a large expatriate population of Irish related people scattered throughout the world.

Waterford has a particular affinity with Newfoundland, where there is a large colony of people with Waterford roots.
