Laois–Offaly was created under the Government of Ireland Act 1920 as King's County–Queen's County (the official names of the counties before independence). The two counties were combined in a single four-member constituency for the House of Commons of Southern Ireland. It was known in the Dáil as Leix–Offaly, and first used for the 1921 general election to the Second Dáil. The Sinn Féin candidates elected unopposed preferred to sit in the Second Dáil (1921–22). It was used at every subsequent general election until 2011. It was abolished at the 2016 general election, and was replaced by the new constituencies of Laois and Offaly.

It was re-established by the Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017, It replaced the constituencies of Laois and Offaly, which came into effect at the 2020 general election, where it was defined as:[1]

"The county of Laois except those parts that are comprised within the constituency of Kildare South,
and the county of Offaly except those parts that are comprised within the constituency of Kildare South."

                  1984 by-election

                  Following the death of Fianna Fáil TD Bernard Cowen, a by-election was held on 14 June 1984, the same day as the European Parliament elections. A Fianna Fáil motion to move the writ in March was defeated by the Fine Gael–Labour government.[60] The seat was won by the Fianna Fáil candidate Brian Cowen, son of the deceased TD.[61]
