Ireland and Scotland have the largest "percentage" of redheads in their population. However, the US has the largest "population" of redheads.
Ireland and Scotland combined have a redhead population of roughly 720,000 however the US redhead population is believed to be between 6-18 million, which is the largest in the world. However, this 6-18 million is a needle in a haystack due to the US large population and large land size.

In absolute numbers it's the United States, relative to population size it's Ireland, followed by Scotland/Northern Ireland.
i think most of the redheads are in Canada because it's a big country with lots of people of Celtic descent (Irish, Scottish, Welsh) in most of the Canadian cities.
The only two Irish people I've met in my life were redheads.
Doesn't represent the whole population, tho.

There's a lot in the States as well. I'd say at least half of my family are red heads.
Probably Australia, it's the largest and most populated country with high percentage of redheads. Canada is most likely the close second, although it's larger, but they have much less redheads.
More than likely Scotland.
Whoever answered Ireland clearly hasn't been here. Most Irish people are dark haired.
Scotland and Australia.
Australia or Canada. More people, more redheads.
