New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recently Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 provides new guidance related to the definition of a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those years. The Company will apply this guidance, as applicable, to future disposals of components or classifications as held for sale. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 provides new guidance related to how an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date," which defers the effective date to fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The amendments can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently determining its implementation approach and assessing the impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." ASU 2015-11 requires inventory that is recorded using the first in, first out method to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments are to be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement,” which provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and how to account for the license under each scenario. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. A reporting entity may apply the guidance prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date, or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which amends the current presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts, instead of as an asset. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. Debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, totaled approximately $ 25 million and $ 28 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and are presented within Other noncurrent assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,” which amends certain requirements for determining whether a variable interest entity must be consolidated. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The increase in commercial paper as compared to the prior year was primarily due to the deposit placed with the IRS in connection with the agreement discussed in Note 12. Debentures with Put Feature At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company had $343.0 million of fixed rate debentures outstanding that have contractual maturities in 2027 and 2028 , but provide the holders an option to require early repayment. The holders may exercise this option on each anniversary date of the issuance. If exercised, the Company would be obligated to repay all or part of, at the holder’s option, the outstanding principal amount of the debentures plus accrued interest. Holders of these debentures had the option to exercise the put feature on $37.2 million of the outstanding debentures in February 2015, subject to the notice requirement. No material exercises were made.

(IR-Lux). The tranches consist of $ 300 million of 2.625% Senior Notes due in 2020, $ 500 million of 3.55% Senior Notes due 2024, and $ 300 million of 4.65% Senior Notes due in 2044. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of IR-Ireland, Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (IR-Limited), Ingersoll-Rand International Holding Limited (IR-International), Ingersoll-Rand New Jersey (IR-New Jersey) and Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited (IR-Global). The proceeds from the notes were primarily used to fund (i) the October 2014 redemption of the $ 200 million 5.50% Notes due 2015 and $ 300 million 4.75% Senior Notes due 2015, and (ii) the acquisition of the Engineered Centrifugal Compression business discussed further in Note 13. Other Credit Facilities The Company has two 5-year, $ 1.0 billion revolving credit facilities through IR-Global and IR-Lux, one of which matures in March 2017 and the other matures in March 2019. IR-Ireland, IR-Limited, IR-International, IR-New Jersey, IR-Global and IR-Lux have each provided irrevocable and unconditional guarantees for these credit facilities. The total committed revolving credit facilities of $ 2.0 billion were unused at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , and provide support for the Company's commercial paper program, as well as other general corporate purposes. Fair Value of Debt Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a framework that utilizes the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below: • Level 1 - Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. • Level 3 - Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. The carrying value of the Company's short-term borrowings is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of the Company's debt instruments at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $4.9 billion and $4.7 billion , respectively. The Company measures the fair value of its long-term debt instruments for disclosure purposes based upon observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar assets. These fair value inputs are considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy discussed above. The methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its long-term debt instruments at September 30, 2015 are the same as those used at December 31, 2014 . There have been no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. Guarantees Along with IR-Ireland, certain of our 100% directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, public debt issued by other 100% directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries. Refer to Note 17 for our current guarantor structure.

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments Abstract
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments In the normal course of business, the Company may use various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, to manage the risks associated with interest rate and currency rate exposures. These financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. On the date a derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction or as an undesignated derivative. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identification of the derivative instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivative instruments that are designated as hedges to specific assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions. The fair market value of derivative instruments is determined through market-based valuations and may not be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be recorded when these instruments mature due to future fluctuations in the markets in which they are traded. The Company assesses at inception, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in cash flow hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. To the extent the derivative is deemed to be a highly effective hedge, the fair market value changes of the instrument are recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Any ineffective portion of a derivative instrument’s change in fair value is recorded in Net earnings in the period of change. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the hedging relationship will be undesignated and any future gains and losses on the derivative instrument will be recorded in Net earnings. Currency Derivative Instruments The notional amount of the Company’s currency derivatives was $ 1,351.7 million and $ 776.7 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , a gain of $ 0.3 million and a loss of $ 1.9 million , net of tax, respectively, was included in AOCI related to the fair value of the Company’s currency derivatives designated as accounting hedges. The amount expected to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months is a gain of $ 0.3 million . The actual amounts that will be reclassified to Net earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions. Gains and losses associated with the Company’s currency derivatives not designated as hedges are recorded in Net earnings as changes in fair value occur. At September 30, 2015 , the maximum term of the Company’s currency derivatives was approximately twelve months. Other Derivative Instruments The Company has utilized forward-starting interest rate swaps and interest rate locks to manage interest rate exposure in periods prior to the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt. These instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges. Consequently, when the contracts were settled upon the issuance of the underlying debt, any realized gains or losses in the fair values of the instruments were initially deferred into Accumulated other comprehensive income. These deferred gains or losses are subsequently recognized into Interest expense over the term of the related notes. The net unrecognized gain in AOCI was $ 5.3 million at September 30, 2015 and $4.9 million at December 31, 2014 . The net deferred gain at September 30, 2015 will be amortized over the term of notes with maturities ranging from 2018 to 2044. The amount expected to be amortized over the next twelve months is a net loss of $ 0.5 million . There were no forward-starting interest rate swaps or interest rate lock contracts outstanding at September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014 . Fair Value Measurements The Company measures the fair value of its derivative instruments on a recurring basis using a pricing model that employs spot rates and forward prices from actively quoted currency markets that are readily accessible and observable. These fair value inputs are considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy discussed in Note 6. The methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its derivative instruments at September 30, 2015 are the same as those used at December 31, 2014 .

Concentration of Credit Risk The counterparties to the Company’s forward contracts consist of a number of investment grade major international financial institutions. The Company could be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. However, the credit ratings and the concentration of risk in these financial institutions are monitored on a continuous basis and present no significant credit risk to the Company. Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. See Note 6 for a discussion of the fair value measurement of the Company's debt instruments.

General Discussion of Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits [Abstract]
Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions	Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions The Company sponsors several U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering substantially all of our U.S. employees. Additionally, the Company has many non-U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering eligible non-U.S. employees. Postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB) provide healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits for certain eligible employees. Pension Plans The noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering non-collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a final average pay formula while plans for most collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a flat dollar benefit formula or a percentage of pay formula. The non-U.S. pension plans generally provide benefits based on earnings and years of service. The Company also maintains additional other supplemental plans for officers and other key or highly compensated employees. The components of the Company’s net periodic pension benefit costs for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended In millions 2015 2014 2015 2014 Service cost $ 18.7 $ 16.6 $ 56.4 $ 51.2 Interest cost 32.0 36.8 97.2 110.7 Expected return on plan assets (39.6 ) (38.9 ) (118.8 ) (117.4 ) Net amortization of: Prior service costs 0.8 1.3 2.4 3.4 Plan net actuarial losses 14.6 9.2 45.5 27.2 Net periodic pension benefit cost 26.5 25.0 82.7 75.1 Net curtailment and settlement losses — 2.8 — 6.5 Net periodic pension benefit cost after net curtailment and settlement losses $ 26.5 $ 27.8 $ 82.7 $ 81.6 Amounts recorded in continuing operations $ 24.1 $ 25.9 $ 75.0 $ 76.1 Amounts recorded in discontinued operations 2.4 1.9 7.7 5.5 Total $ 26.5 $ 27.8 $ 82.7 $ 81.6 The Company made required and discretionary contributions to its defined benefit pension plans of $ 15.1 million and $ 93.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company currently projects that it will contribute approximately $36 million to its plans worldwide in 2015. Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions The Company sponsors several postretirement plans that provide for healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits that cover certain eligible employees. These plans are unfunded and have no plan assets, but are instead funded by the Company on a pay-as-you-go basis in the form of direct benefit payments. Generally, postretirement health benefits are contributory with contributions adjusted annually. Life insurance plans for retirees are primarily noncontributory. The components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended In millions 2015 2014 2015 2014 Service cost $ 1.2 $ 1.1 $ 3.3 $ 3.7 Interest cost 5.2 6.5 17.1 21.1 Net amortization of: Prior service gains (2.3 ) (2.2 ) (6.7 ) (6.6 ) Net actuarial losses (0.2 ) — — — Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 3.9 $ 5.4 $ 13.7 $ 18.2 Amounts recorded in continuing operations $ 2.5 $ 3.7 $ 8.5 $ 12.1 Amounts recorded in discontinued operations 1.4 1.7 5.2 6.1 Total $ 3.9 $ 5.4 $ 13.7 $ 18.2

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2015
Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation The Company records share-based compensation awards using a fair value method and recognizes compensation expense for an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment issued in its financial statements. The Company’s share-based compensation plans include programs for stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance share units (PSUs) and deferred compensation. Compensation Expense Share-based compensation expense is related to continuing operations and is included in Selling and administrative expenses. The expense recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended In millions 2015 2014 2015 2014 Stock options $ 3.2 $ 3.3 $ 13.1 $ 13.3 RSUs 5.0 5.0 20.7 20.1 Performance shares 5.0 4.9 16.9 19.3 Other (0.8 ) (0.1 ) (0.1 ) 1.2 Pre-tax expense 12.4 13.1 50.6 53.9 Tax benefit (4.7 ) (5.0 ) (19.3 ) (20.6 ) After-tax expense $ 7.7 $ 8.1 $ 31.3 $ 33.3 Stock Options/RSUs Eligible participants may receive (i) stock options, (ii) RSUs or (iii) a combination of both stock options and RSUs. Grants issued during the nine months ended September 30 were as follows: 2015 2014 Number granted Weighted- average fair value per award Number granted Weighted- average fair value per award Stock options 1,333,849 $ 14.15 1,160,057 $ 14.29 RSUs 411,968 $ 66.82 375,273 $ 59.83 The fair value of each of the Company’s stock option and RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally the 3 -year vesting period. However, for stock options and RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees, the Company recognizes expense for the fair value at the grant date. The average fair value of the stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used during the nine months ended September 30 : 2015 2014 Dividend yield 1.73 % 1.67 % Volatility 28.56 % 31.43 % Risk-free rate of return 1.24 % 1.46 % Expected life in years 4.9 4.9 Expected volatility -- The expected volatility is based on a weighted average of the Company’s implied volatility and the most recent historical volatility of the Company’s stock commensurate with the expected life. Risk-free interest rate --The Company applies a yield curve of continuous risk-free rates based upon the published US Treasury spot rates on the grant date. Expected life -- The expected life of the Company’s stock option awards represents the weighted-average of the actual period since the grant date for all exercised or cancelled options and an expected period for all outstanding options. Dividend yield -- The Company determines the dividend yield based upon the expected quarterly dividend payments as of the grant date and the current fair market value of the Company’s stock. Forfeiture Rate -- The Company analyzes historical data of forfeited options to develop a reasonable expectation of the number of options to forfeit prior to vesting per year. This expected forfeiture rate is applied to the Company’s ongoing compensation expense; however, all expense is adjusted to reflect actual vestings and forfeitures. PSUs The Company has a Performance Share Program for key employees. The program provides awards in the form of PSUs based on performance against pre-established objectives. The annual target award level is expressed as a number of the Company's ordinary shares. All PSUs are settled in the form of ordinary shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company granted PSUs with a maximum award level of approximately 0.4 million shares with a weighted-average fair value per award of $ 79.80 . PSUs are earned based 50% upon a performance condition, measured at each reporting period by relative EPS growth to the industrial group of companies in the S&P 500 Index and the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant, and 50% upon a market condition, measured by the Company's total shareholder return (TSR) relative to that of the industrial group of companies in the S&P 500 Index over the 3-year performance period. The fair value of the market condition is estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach in a risk-neutral framework based upon historical volatility, risk-free rates and correlation matrix. Other Plans The Company allows key employees to defer a portion of their eligible compensation into a number of investment choices, including its ordinary share equivalents. Any amounts invested in ordinary share equivalents will be settled in ordinary shares of the Company at the time of distribution. The Company has not granted stock appreciation rights (SARs) since 2006 and does not anticipate additional grants in the future. As of September 30, 2015 , there were 18,090 SARs outstanding. All unexercised shares will expire in 2016. All SARs exercised are settled with the Company’s ordinary shares.

Other Net [Abstract]
Other, Net	Other Income/(Expense), Net The components of Other income/(expense), net for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended In millions 2015 2014 2015 2014 Interest income $ 2.5 $ 3.0 $ 7.8 $ 9.4 Exchange gain (loss) 4.1 (1.0 ) (28.3 ) (2.4 ) Income from equity investment 6.5 3.3 10.7 3.7 Other activity, net (0.9 ) 4.3 17.6 9.5 Other income/(expense), net $ 12.2 $ 9.6 $ 7.8 $ 20.2 Included in Other income/(expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is a loss on foreign currency exchange of $ 42.6 million related to the remeasurement of net monetary assets denominated in Venezuelan bolivar in March 2015, as discussed further below. This charge was partially offset by $ 14.3 million of foreign currency transaction gains resulting from the remeasurement of non-functional balance sheet positions into their functional currency. The Company recognizes income from our equity investment in Hussmann, a refrigeration display case business. Our ownership interest was 36.7% and 37.2% at September 30 , 2015 and 2014, respectively. The investment is accounted for using the equity method, and is reflected within Other noncurrent assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily consists of income realized from insurance settlements on asbestos-related matters. Other activity for the nine months ended September 30 , 2014 is primarily composed of a $ 6.0 million gain on the sale of an investment. Venezuela Currency Devaluation The Company has one subsidiary with operations in Venezuela. Due to the historical designation of Venezuela as a highly inflationary economy, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for this subsidiary. From February 2013 to March 2015, the Company utilized the official exchange rate obtained through the National Center of Foreign Trade (CENCOEX) of 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar to translate the Venezuela subsidiary financial statements. In January 2014, the Venezuelan government significantly expanded the use of the Supplementary Foreign Currency Administration System (SICAD) I exchange market and created a third exchange market called SICAD II. In January 2015, the Venezuelan government clarified the priority imports for the CENCOEX exchange and the Company’s products were not listed as a priority. In February 2015, the Venezuelan government announced a new exchange market called the Marginal Currency System (SIMADI), which replaced the SICAD II exchange and allows for trading based on supply and demand. These markets have exchange rates significantly less favorable than the CENCOEX rate. In light of the developments described above and the continued deterioration in the economic conditions of Venezuela in connection with the Company’s preparation of the first quarter 2015 financial statements, the Company utilized the SIMADI rate of 192.95 bolivars to U.S. dollar to translate the financial position of our Venezuelan subsidiary as of March 31, 2015. As a result the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $ 42.6 million (within Other income/(expense), net) related to the remeasurement of net monetary assets at March 31, 2015 resulting in net monetary assets remaining of approximately 278 million bolivars, equal to $ 1.4 million U.S dollars. The Company has continued using the SIMADI rate through September 30, 2015 .

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Company. In addition, tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income or deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the United States. In general, the examination of the Company’s material tax returns is complete for the years prior to 2001, with certain matters being resolved through appeals and litigation. In 2007, the Company received a notice from the IRS containing proposed adjustments to the Company's tax filings in connection with an audit of the 2001 and 2002 tax years. The IRS did not contest the validity of the Company's reincorporation in Bermuda. The IRS proposed to ignore the entities that hold the intercompany debt incurred in connection with the Company's reincorporation in Bermuda (the "2001 Debt") and to which the interest was paid and impose 30% withholding tax on a portion of the interest payments as if they were made directly to a company that was not eligible for reduced U.S. withholding tax under a U.S. income tax treaty. The IRS asserted that the Company owed additional taxes with respect to 2002 of approximately $ 84 million plus interest. In 2010, the Company received an amended notice from the IRS assessing penalties of 30% on the asserted underpayment of tax described above. In 2013, the Company received a Notice of Deficiency from the IRS for 2002 and the Company filed a petition in the United States Tax Court in November 2013 contesting this deficiency. In its January 2014 answer to the Company’s petition, the IRS asserted that the Company also owed 30% withholding tax on the portion of 2002 interest payments made on the 2001 Debt upon which it did not previously assert withholding tax. This increased the total tax liability proposed for 2002 to $109.0 million ( $84 million referred to in the paragraph above plus an additional $25.0 million ) plus 30% penalties and interest. In 2013, the Company received notices from the IRS containing proposed adjustments to the Company's tax filings in connection with an audit of the 2003-2006 tax years. In these notices, the IRS asserted that the Company owed a total of approximately $ 665 million of additional taxes, as described more fully in the two paragraphs below, in connection with the Company's interest payments on the 2001 Debt for the 2003-2006 period, plus penalties and interest on these unpaid taxes. The IRS continued to take the position on the 2001 Debt, which was retired at the end of 2011, that it previously took for the Company's 2002 tax year and which is described above. As a result of this recharacterization, the IRS asserted that the Company owed approximately $ 455.0 million of withholding tax for 2003-2006 plus 30% penalties and interest. The IRS also proposed to extend its position further and to treat all of the interest income from the 2001 Debt as creating earnings and profits at IR-Limited and, as a result, recharacterized the distributions made by IR-Limited during the 2002-2006 tax years as taxable dividends instead of as a return of capital. Consequently the IRS asserted that the Company owed approximately $ 210.0 million of income tax on these dividends plus penalties of 20% and interest. The Company strongly disagreed with the view of the IRS and filed a protest in January 2014 for the 2003-2006 tax years. Furthermore, a substantial amount of information was provided to the IRS in connection with its audit of our 2007-2011 tax years. We expected the IRS to propose similar adjustments with respect to the 2001 Debt, although the Company did not know how the IRS would apply its position to the different facts presented in those years or whether the IRS would take a similar position with respect to intercompany debt instruments not outstanding in prior years. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 the Company had extensive negotiations with the IRS on the terms of a settlement that was signed on July 17, 2015 to resolve all disputes described above with respect to the 2001 Debt, any similar issues related to other intercompany debt outstanding during the 2002-2011 period and all related issues including the issue of the recharacterized distributions. The resolution must be reported to the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation (the “JCT”) for review and cannot be finalized until the IRS considers the views, if any, expressed by the JCT about the matter. This resolution covers the intercompany debt and related issues described above for the entire period from 2002-2011 and includes all aspects of the controversy before the U.S. Tax Court, the Appeals Division and the Examination Division of the IRS. Pursuant to the agreement with the IRS, no penalties will apply with regard to any of the tax years 2002-2011, the Company will pay $ 230 million in withholding tax, plus interest with respect to the 2002-2006 years and no additional tax will be owed with respect to these intercompany debt and related matters for the years 2007-2011. In connection with this resolution, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $ 227 million to income tax expense in the three months ended June 30, 2015 with the corresponding liability recorded to accrued expenses and other current liabilities. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 this matter resulted in a net cash outflow to the Company of approximately $ 375 million (consisting of the $ 230 million in tax and $ 145 million of interest net of 2015 anticipated tax benefit of $ 37 million ). Included in the net cash outflow above is a deposit of $ 412 million placed with the IRS, which stops further accrual of interest until the JCT process is completed. This deposit is classified within "Other current assets" on the September 30, 2015 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Total unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $ 503.4 million and $ 343.8 million , respectively. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company's tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, the settlements of ongoing audits and/or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of tax matters, but will adjust its reserves if events so dictate in accordance with GAAP. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in the Provision for income taxes.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share (EPS)	Earnings Per Share (EPS) Basic EPS is calculated by dividing Net earnings attributable to IR-Ireland by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic EPS calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, which in the Company’s case, includes shares issuable under share-based compensation plans. The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30 : Three months ended Nine months ended In millions 2015 2014 2015 2014 Weighted-average number of basic shares 265.6 267.9 265.8 272.2 Shares issuable under incentive stock plans 2.7 3.7 2.9 3.7 Weighted-average number of diluted shares 268.3 271.6 268.7 275.9 Anti-dilutive shares 2.3 0.9 1.3 1.1

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segment Information	Business Segment Information The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that the operating segments' results are prepared on a management basis that is consistent with the manner in which the Company disaggregates financial information for internal review and decision making. The Company largely evaluates performance based on Segment operating income and Segment operating margins. Segment operating income is the measure of profit and loss that the Company's chief operating decision maker uses to evaluate the financial performance of the business and as the basis for performance reviews, compensation and resource allocation. For these reasons, the Company believes that Segment operating income represents the most relevant measure of segment profit and loss.

Commitments And Contingencies Abstract
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company is involved in various litigations, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental, asbestos, and product liability matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in this note, management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company. Environmental Matters The Company continues to be dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, the Company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities. The Company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. It has also been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. For all such sites, there are other PRPs and, in most instances, the Company’s involvement is minimal. In estimating its liability, the Company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based on our understanding of the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $ 43.2 million and $ 45.2 million , respectively. Of these amounts, $ 34.2 million and $ 36.3 million , respectively, relate to remediation of sites previously disposed of by the Company. Environmental reserves are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected term. The Company's total current environmental reserve at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $ 10.8 million and $ 17.1 million , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the impact on the Company's earnings of activity related to environmental matters was nominal. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain. Asbestos-Related Matters Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits, a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants. The vast majority of those claims have been filed against either IR-New Jersey or Trane U.S. Inc. (Trane) and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain historical products sold by IR-New Jersey or Trane, primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. Neither IR-New Jersey nor Trane was a producer or manufacturer of asbestos, however, some formerly manufactured products utilized asbestos-containing components such as gaskets and packings purchased from third-party suppliers. The Company engages an outside expert to assist in calculating an estimate of the Company’s total liability for pending and unasserted future asbestos-related claims and annually performs a detailed analysis to update its estimated asbestos-related liability. The methodology used to project the Company’s total liability for pending and unasserted potential future asbestos-related claims relied upon and included the following factors, among others: • the outside expert’s interpretation of a widely accepted forecast of the population likely to have been occupationally exposed to asbestos; • epidemiological studies estimating the number of people likely to develop asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma and lung cancer; • the Company’s historical experience with the filing of non-malignancy claims and claims alleging other types of malignant diseases filed against the Company relative to the number of lung cancer claims filed against the Company; • the outside expert’s analysis of the number of people likely to file an asbestos-related personal injury claim against the Company based on such epidemiological and historical data and the Company’s most recent three-year claims history; • an analysis of the Company’s pending cases, by type of disease claimed and by year filed; • an analysis of the Company’s most recent three-year history to determine the average settlement and resolution value of claims, by type of disease claimed; • an adjustment for inflation in the future average settlement value of claims, at a 2.5% annual inflation rate, adjusted downward to 1.5% to take account of the declining value of claims resulting from the aging of the claimant population; and • an analysis of the period over which the Company has and is likely to resolve asbestos-related claims against it in the future. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , over 80 percent of the open claims against the Company are non-malignancy or unspecified disease claims, many of which have been placed on inactive or deferral dockets and the vast majority of which have little or no settlement value against the Company, particularly in light of recent changes in the legal and judicial treatment of such claims. The Company’s liability for asbestos-related matters and the asset for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries were included in the following balance sheet accounts: In millions September 30, December 31, Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 66.9 $ 67.6 Other noncurrent liabilities 675.0 709.0 Total asbestos-related liabilities $ 741.9 $ 776.6 Other current assets $ 43.3 $ 57.2 Other noncurrent assets 289.4 278.5 Total asset for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries $ 332.7 $ 335.7 The Company's asbestos insurance receivable related to IR-New Jersey and Trane was $ 165.7 million and $ 167.0 million at September 30, 2015 , respectively, and $ 176.8 million and $ 158.9 million at December 31, 2014 , respectively. The (costs) income associated with the settlement and defense of asbestos-related claims after insurance recoveries for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended In millions 2015 2014 2015 2014 Continuing operations $ (2.9 ) $ 3.5 $ 14.8 $ 2.3 Discontinued operations (1.2 ) (4.5 ) (6.8 ) (18.3 ) Total $ (4.1 ) $ (1.0 ) $ 8.0 $ (16.0 ) Income and expense associated with IR-New Jersey's asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries are recorded within discontinued operations, as they relate to previously divested businesses, primarily Ingersoll-Dresser Pump, which was sold in 2000. Income and expenses associated with Trane’s asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries are recorded within continuing operations. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company reached a settlement with insurance carriers related to Trane asbestos matters. The receivable attributable to Trane for probable insurance recoveries as of September 30, 2015 is entirely supported by settlement agreements between Trane and the respective insurance carriers. Most of these settlement agreements constitute “coverage-in-place” arrangements, in which the insurer signatories agree to reimburse Trane for specified portions of its costs for asbestos bodily injury claims and Trane agrees to certain claims-handling protocols and grants to the insurer signatories certain releases and indemnifications. In 2012 and 2013, IR-New Jersey filed actions in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County, seeking a declaratory judgment and other relief regarding the Company's rights to defense and indemnity for asbestos claims. The defendants are several dozen solvent insurance companies, including companies that had been paying a portion of IR-New Jersey's asbestos claim defense and indemnity costs. The action involves certain of IR-New Jersey's unexhausted insurance policies applicable to the asbestos claims that are not subject to any settlement agreement. The responding defendants generally challenged the Company's right to recovery, and raised various coverage defenses. The Company continually monitors the status of pending litigation that could impact the allocation of asbestos claims against the Company's various insurance policies. The Company has concluded that its IR-New Jersey insurance receivable is probable of recovery because of the following factors: • IR-New Jersey has reached favorable settlements regarding asbestos coverage claims for the majority of its recorded asbestos-related insurance receivable; • a review of other companies in circumstances comparable to IR-New Jersey, including Trane, and the success of other companies in recovering under their insurance policies, including Trane's favorable settlement discussed above; • the Company's confidence in its right to recovery under the terms of its policies and pursuant to applicable law; and • the Company's history of receiving payments under the IR-New Jersey insurance program, including under policies that had been the subject of prior litigation. The amounts recorded by the Company for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets are based on currently available information. The Company’s actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the calculations vary significantly from actual results. Key variables in these assumptions include the number and type of new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of resolution of each such new claim, the resolution of coverage issues with insurance carriers, and the solvency risk with respect to the Company’s insurance carriers. Furthermore, predictions with respect to these variables are subject to greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. Other factors that may affect the Company’s liability include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal tort reform legislation. The aggregate amount of the stated limits in insurance policies available to the Company for asbestos-related claims acquired over many years and from many different carriers, is substantial. However, limitations in that coverage, primarily due to the considerations described above, are expected to result in the projected total liability to claimants substantially exceeding the probable insurance recovery. Warranty Liability Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available. The changes in the standard product warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30 were as follows: In millions 2015 2014 Balance at beginning of period $ 253.6 $ 245.7 Reductions for payments (104.3 ) (113.9 ) Accruals for warranties issued during the current period 108.8 116.4 Accruals for warranties assumed from acquisitions during the current period 9.7 — Changes to accruals related to preexisting warranties (0.1 ) 10.8 Translation (3.6 ) (3.1 ) Balance at end of period $ 264.1 $ 255.9 Standard product warranty liabilities are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected term. The Company's total current standard product warranty reserve at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $ 161.3 million and $ 147.8 million , respectively. The Company's extended warranty liability represents the deferred revenue associated with its extended warranty contracts and is amortized into Revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, unless another method is more representative of the costs incurred. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liability by evaluating the expected costs under its existing contracts to ensure these expected costs do not exceed the extended warranty liability. The changes in the extended warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30 were as follows: In millions 2015 2014 Balance at beginning of period $ 330.1 $ 359.1 Amortization of deferred revenue for the period (79.7 ) (77.6 ) Additions for extended warranties issued during the period 65.6 59.9 Changes to accruals related to preexisting warranties 2.9 (2.4 ) Translation (2.3 ) (1.1 ) Balance at end of period $ 316.6 $ 337.9 The extended warranty liability is classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on the timing of when the deferred revenue is expected to be amortized into Revenue. The Company's total current extended warranty liability at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $ 96.5 million and $ 97.2 million , respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company incurred costs of $ 48.5 million and $ 50.9 million , respectively, related to extended warranties. Other Commitments and Contingencies In January 2015, the Company purchased property, plant and equipment totaling approximately $ 30 million , with a corresponding increase in liabilities. This represented a non-cash investing activity and, therefore, was not initially included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The cash impact of the capital expenditure will be reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as the payments for the property, plant and equipment are made through 2017. Trane has commitments and performance guarantees, including energy savings guarantees, totaling $ 431.5 million extending from 2015-2033. These guarantees are provided under long-term service and maintenance contracts related to its air conditioning equipment and system controls. Through September 30, 2015 , the Company has experienced no significant losses under such arrangements and considers the probability of any significant future losses to be remote.

Condensed Financial Information of Parent Company Only Disclosure [Abstract]
Guarantor Financial Information	Guarantor Financial Information Ingersoll-Rand plc (IR-Ireland), a public limited company incorporated in Ireland in 2009, is the successor to Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited, a Bermuda company (IR-Limited), following a corporate reorganization that became effective on July 1, 2009 (the Ireland Reorganization). IR-Limited is the successor to Ingersoll-Rand Company, a New Jersey corporation (IR-New Jersey), following a corporate reorganization that occurred on December 31, 2001 (the Bermuda Reorganization). As part of the Bermuda Reorganization, IR-Limited fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the issued public debt securities of IR-New Jersey. As part of the Ireland Reorganization, IR-Ireland became the ultimate parent company and Ingersoll-Rand International Holding Limited (IR-International) became its stand-alone subsidiary. In addition, (i) IR-International assumed the obligations of IR-Limited as issuer or guarantor, as the case may be, and (ii) IR-Ireland and IR-Limited fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations under the various indentures covering the currently outstanding public debt of IR-International, Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited (IR-Global), and IR-New Jersey. Also as part of the Ireland Reorganization, IR-Limited transferred all the shares of IR-Global to IR-International in exchange for a note payable that has since been settled. In 2013, the public outstanding indentures of IR-Global and IR-International were modified to include IR-New Jersey as a co-obligor. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company issued $ 1.1 billion of public debt through a newly incorporated, wholly-owned subsidiary, Ingersoll-Rand Luxembourg Finance S.A. (IR-Lux). This debt was guaranteed fully and unconditionally by each of the existing guarantors (IR-Ireland, IR-Limited, IR-International and IR-New Jersey) as well as IR-Global. Also in 2014, the public indentures of IR-Global and IR-New Jersey were modified to include IR-Lux as a guarantor. Our current guarantor structure is as follows: • IR-Ireland, IR-Limited, IR-International and IR-Lux fully and unconditionally guarantee the outstanding public debt of IR-Global and IR-New Jersey; • IR-Ireland, IR-Limited, IR-International, IR-Global and IR-New Jersey fully and unconditionally guarantee the outstanding public debt of IR-Lux; • IR-Ireland, IR-Limited, IR-International and IR-New Jersey fully and unconditionally guarantee the revolving credit facilities of IR-Global and IR-Lux (as an additional borrower), and each of IR-Global and IR-Lux guarantee any revolving credit facility borrowings of the other; • IR-Ireland, IR-Limited, IR-International and IR-New Jersey fully and unconditionally guarantee any commercial paper borrowings of IR-Global or IR-Lux, and IR-Global guarantees any such borrowings of IR-Lux; and • IR-New Jersey is a co-obligor of the outstanding public debt issued by IR-Global. See Note 6 for a further discussion of public debt issuances and related guarantees. The Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements present the investments of IR-Ireland, IR-Limited, IR-Global, IR-International, IR-New Jersey and IR-Lux and their subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the amounts related to the issuance of the Class B shares were recorded as a reduction of Total equity. The Notes payable affiliate continues to be reflected on the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet of IR-International and is enforceable in accordance with their terms. The following condensed consolidating financial information for IR-Ireland, IR-Limited, IR-Global, IR-International, IR-New Jersey, IR-Lux, and all their other subsidiaries is included so that separate financial statements of IR-Ireland, IR-Limited, IR-Global, IR-International, IR-New Jersey, and IR-Lux are not required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. IR-Ireland's subsidiary debt issuers and guarantors are directly or indirectly 100% owned by IR-Ireland and the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Revisions to Previously Issued Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements The Company revised its Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements to correct the presentation of certain intercompany investments in the Other subsidiaries and Consolidating adjustments columns within the December 31, 2014 Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet. This revision decreases Investment in affiliates and Equity by $ 2.1 billion in the Other subsidiaries column, with offsetting impacts in the Consolidating adjustments column. The March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets were also corrected for this matter and resulted in a reduction to Investment in affiliates and Equity of $ 2.4 billion and $ 2.8 billion , respectively. These revisions do not impact the financial statements of the Company's debt issuer or guarantor entities and had no impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company assessed the materiality of the revisions on previously issued financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 1.M and 1.N and concluded that the revisions were not material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial statements. The Company has revised the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to reflect these corrections.
