This is an American phrase, not an Irish one. It’s an insult to Irish people that was coined during gold mining when a lot of Irish people arrived to make money suggesting they were stupid.
The idea was that if an Irish person could find gold then it was if to say, only by sheer luck, as opposed to brains, could these fools succeed.

Get the Luck of the irishmug. When all the clocks are slightly wrong, and everyone's running slightly late (or early), but somehow everything happens at the right moment and everything works out.
1. I was running 20 minutes late, had lost my umbrella, and was worried about leaving the cat alone. Then Jim came back but he'd forgotten his keys. I let him in, he stayed home and looked after the cat and lent me his umbrella. Irish timing saved me again.
2. There was a car crash delaying the bus I was gonna take, so I didn't make it to the event. Turns out it was my Irish Timing. The event had been cancelled and I had a great night with my friends instead.

Get the The old Irish backstopmug. When someone is texting you, and mid conversation, especially when you’re expecting a response, they simply stop texting. Some blame falling asleep or being distracted, but some are prone to it, while others are not.
Dude, I was texting my girl last night and asked her how her bar tending shift went, and once again out of no where she gave me the telephonic Irish goodbye. When we texted this morning it’s like last night’s conversation never happened.

Get the irish rumblemug. The act of yanking ones testicles from thus anus and placing them on your partner's forehead sprinkled with some irish pepper and seasoned with lucky charms.
Hey babe remember that time I made you into an Irish doll ? Great thing I didn't want kids in my life.

Get the Irish dollmug. The action of grabbing hold of ones ears, and forcing their head into their crotch. This forms a position that is supposed to resemble bike handlebars.
