Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an ultraviolet light irradiation system and an ultraviolet light irradiation method which can perceive a state of a region where ultraviolet light is irradiated to output/block the ultraviolet light. An ultraviolet light irradiation system 301 according to the present invention includes an ultraviolet light source unit 11 that produces ultraviolet light, an N (N is a natural number) irradiation unit 13 that irradiates an irradiation target region Ar with the ultraviolet light, a sensor unit 31 that detects whether or not an object that should avoid exposure is present in the irradiation target region Ar, and a blocking unit 30 that stops, in a case where the object that should avoid exposure is present in the irradiation target region Ar, irradiation of the ultraviolet light from the irradiation unit 13 to the irradiation target region Ar.
