Commercial cider production was started in Clonmel, County Tipperary in 1935, by local man William Magner. Magner bought the orchard off a Mr Phelan from Clonmel, his great grandson Tadhg Buckley now resides in Bunmahon Co Waterford. Magner quickly established a successful business, and in 1937 he joined forces with the famous English cider-makers H. P. Bulmer and Company. Dowds Lane in Clonmel was the location of this burgeoning enterprise. In 1949 Magner withdrew from the business and the Bulmers name came to the fore. However H.P. Bulmer maintained international rights to the Bulmers trade mark, which prevented the Irish company exporting the brand from Ireland.

The success of Bulmers cider in Ireland led to the development of Magners Cider. The concept was originally developed by Export Executive, Stuart Wootten, who argued that the international growth of Irish pubs provided a natural market for an indigenous Irish drink such as Magners. The label is identical to Bulmers and even the name has the same number of letters and ends in "ers". The product is made identically for both the 'Bulmers' and 'Magners' names. It is available in 330 ml, pint, litre and 750 ml bottles and 500 ml cans, and is traditionally served over ice. It is also available in some bars on draught. Initially only available in Spain, Northern Ireland and Scotland, the brand saw its popularity increase significantly in recent years and is now available across the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and the United States. The pint is an English unit of volume or capacity in the imperial system and United States customary units, equivalent in each system to one half of a quart, and one eighth of a gallon. ... The litre or liter (see spelling differences) is a unit of volume. ...

The current TV advertising for Bulmers in Ireland mirrored by Magners in International markets, involves adverts that run in each of the seasons. They show a brief shot of an orchard in seasonal conditions (bare and snow covered in winter, lush and green with sunny skies in summer) at the start of the advert, and then how people enjoy the drink during these seasons (by a warm fire in winter, out in the warm sun during summer).

Recently, the carbon emissions associated with transport of food and drink material (food-miles) has resulted in growing concern over transporting thousands of tonnes of apples to Ireland for fermentation and then transport back to the UK for distribution.
