Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are among the few potential source candidates for the production of the highest energy cosmic rays and they are among the most puzzling phenomena in the Universe. GRBs are thought to produce neutrinos with energies well in excess of 100 TeV within their ultra relativistic jets. However, no evidence for associated neutrino emission has been observed to date. During recent years, the AMANDA-II neutrino telescope, located at the South Pole, has accumulated a large archived data set whose correlated analysis rendered limits very close to, or in some cases even below, current theoretical neutrino flux predictions from GRBs. With 70 times bigger instrumented volume, IceCube, currently under construction, will rapidly expand the collective data volume during the next few years. In this paper, the latest AMANDA GRB results are presented and an outlook on the capabilities of IceCube is given.
