The Blind auditions took place on 18, 19 and 20 October at The Helix. The coaches choose teams of artists through a blind audition process. Each coach has the length of the artists' performance to decide if they want that artist on their team. Should two or more coaches want the same artist, then the artist gets to choose their coach. This series, each coach gets to pick ten artists to join their team. Once the coaches have picked their team, they are to pit them against each other in the ultimate sing off; The Battles. An addition this season is that RTÉ 2fm have selected 5 wildcards to audition.

The Battle round took place on 15 and 16 December in The Helix. The coaches' mentors included UK singers Sarah Harding and Matt Cardle. There was a new format added to the battles for this series. If an act lost their battle, they are not immediately out of the competition. Each coach has one 'Steal' where they get the opportunity to take one losing act and have them join their team for the live shows. They do this by pressing their 'I Want You' button. 24 acts made it to the Live Shows.
