Let ${\mathcal{B}}_{n}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})$ be the set of Cowen–Douglas operators of index $n$ on a nonempty bounded connected open subset $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}$ of $\mathbb{C}$. We consider the strong irreducibility of a class of Cowen–Douglas operators ${\mathcal{F}}{\mathcal{B}}_{n}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})$ on Banach spaces. We show ${\mathcal{F}}{\mathcal{B}}_{n}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})\subseteq {\mathcal{B}}_{n}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})$ and give some conditions under which an operator $T\in {\mathcal{F}}{\mathcal{B}}_{n}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})$ is strongly irreducible. All these results generalise similar results on Hilbert spaces.
