I summarize our knowledge of star clusters and associations in irregular galaxies other than the Magellanic Clouds in the Local Group. Surveys affording complete area coverage at high angular resolution are still lacking. Confirmed globular clusters are known only in NGC 6822 and WLM. Very few dIrrs contain populous or sparse open clusters. There is a pronounced deficiency of intermediate-age and young clusters. Apart from parent galaxy mass, the lack of interactions may be a key reason for the lack of cluster formation in the dIrrs. All dIrrs have one or several short-lived OB associations in the star-forming regions in their centers.
