  We report a study of the structural and magnetic properties of single
crystals of Ce$_2$IrGa$_{12}$. Ce$_2$IrGa$_{12}$ crystallizes in a layered
tetragonal structure, and undergoes an antiferromagnetic transition below 3.1
K. We characterize the temperature-field phase diagrams of Ce$_2$IrGa$_{12}$
for fields both within the $ab$-plane and along the $c$-axis, where the
presence of a field-induced magnetic phase is found for in-plane fields. The
ordering temperature is moderately enhanced upon the application of pressures
up to 2.3~GPa, suggesting that Ce$_2$IrGa$_{12}$ corresponds to the well
localized region of the Doniach phase diagram.
