By using the observations of IRIS network, the stability of determinang ERP with VLBI is studied. It is concluded that the uncertainties from initial values of ERP, the errors of other parameters are at the same level as the formal errors in determination of ERP. The geometric effect on determination of ERP is important and appears as systematic errors. Geometric uncertainty on polar motion is greater than that on UT1. and specially much worse for the continenal network. The stability of determining ERP with VLBI can be improved either by increasing new stations at reasonable location in a VLBI network or by increasing new networks.
