Irish Twins

Irish twins is a American slang term that refers to siblings born 9 to 12 months apart - usually in the same calendar year, or who are in the same grade in school. The term is considered derogatory because it references the supposedly large families of Irish Catholics who did not use birth control and thus had many children in quick succession. Similarly, Irish triplets means three children in three years.
