The Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS) sample of luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) represent the most luminous local systems in the local universe. LIRGs show enhanced starbursts and AGN activity, typically related to interacting galaxies and mergers events. We present 162 reduced HI profiles of local LIRGs measured with the GBT. We discuss our findings on the HI properties of local LIRGs, including our analyses on HI mass density as a function of infrared luminosity (LIR) normalized by the dynamical mass, HI linewidth and gas fraction as functions of LIR, as well as the observed correlation between normalized HI mass and LIR. This research was carried out at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Green Bank, a facility of the National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.
