You are an Irish citizen if your father was an Irish citizen by birth at the time of your birth. Both Ireland and the USA accept dual citizenship so you are a citizen of both countries.

The following is taken from the Irish Citizens Information website

"If either of your parents was an Irish citizen at the time of your birth, then you are automatically an Irish citizen, irrespective of your place of birth.

So, if you were born outside Ireland to an Irish citizen who was himself or herself born in Ireland, then you are an Irish citizen."
