The drugs were found as part of an investigation into organised crime.
Gardai stopped and searched three vehicles in the Blakes Cross area on Saturday.
That's when they found the cocaine with a street value of around €2.5 million.
The men were arrested at the scene and taken to two different Garda stations.
Detective Chief Superintendent Angela Willis called the seizure "significant" and says the bust will help keep people safe.
Assistant Commissioner John O’Driscoll is reminding the public that Gardai "continue to pursue those who engage in serious and organised crime with a view to dismantling the organised crime groups they are associated with".
