A Crown Event is one of the events where royalty are either chosen (Crown Tournaments) or invested (Coronations). The Crown Events in An Tir are: Twelfth Night Coronation, May Crown Tournament, July Coronation and September Crown Tournament.

No other events in the Kingdom may be held on the same weekend as a Crown Event.

For the first years of its existence, the Principality of An Tir followed its parent kingdom's lead and had three reigns per year. Additionally, the Coronet Tournament and Coronet Investiture were held at the same event. As someone was heard to say, "Arrive a nobody, go home Prince." The combination Tournament and Investiture events were held in late August or early Sept, early March, and mid- to late-June. The last combination event was held on 28 June X/1975.

Beginning in Oct X/1975, the Coronet event calendar was adjusted to six events per year, separating the Coronet Tournament from the Investiture. The first stand-alone Coronet Tournament took place on 18 Oct X/1975 followed by An Tir's first Twelfth Night Investiture on 3 Jan X/1976.

At some time during XI/1976-77 it was determined that two reigns per year would work better for An Tir, although the schedule of events was still unsettled.

In late XIII (Jan), the Coronet Event calendar finally settled down to the schedule we still have today: May Crown Tournament, July Coronation, September Crown Tournament, and Twelfth Night Coronation.
