Dirac proved that each n-vertex 2-connected graph with minimum degree at least k contains a cycle of length at least min{2k, n}. We prove a hypergraph version of this result: for n geq k geq r+2 geq 5, every 2-connected r-uniform n-vertex hypergraph with minimum degree at least {k-1 choose r-1}+1 has a Berge cycle of length at least min{2k, n}. The bound is exact for all k geq r+2 geq 5. This work is joint with Alexandr Kostochka and Ruth Luo.
