    For an Irish woman, the average height is 5'4'' so anything over that is taller than average. Most "tall" ranges in shops for women are aimed at women 5'7''-5'8'' and over. I'm 5'7'' so a bit of an awkward one.

    For men, average is 5'10''.

    Average for men is about 5'8'' & for women its around the 5'4" mark. Over 6ft is considered tall.

    That's including everyone of all ages. If we could find out the averages for under 30s (say) then I reckon it'd be higher and that's why the OP thinks he's average.
