You’ll find every confirmed Ireland rugby fixture for both the men’s and women’s teams on this page.

Ireland’s women are on something of a roll, and will be looking to build reaching the quarter-finals of the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 and third place in the Women’s Six Nations 2026.

They’re about to take part in the WXV Global Series in which they’ll face the USA, Japan and South Africa (twice). Then they’ll be heading to the Six Nations, hoping to improve on last year’s three wins from five.

• Ireland’s women take part in the WXV Global Series through September and October. They kick off their campaign against the USA on Sunday 20 September.
• Ireland’s men kick off the autumn leg of the Nations Championship against Argentina on Friday 6 November.
• Ireland’s pool stage opponents in the 2027 Rugby World Cup are Portugal, Uruguay and (for the third tournament in a row) Scotland.

Andy Farrell‘s men, meanwhile, finished second in the Men’s Six Nations and have won two of their three games so far in the all-new Nations Championship. They’ll be back in action in November when they welcome Argentina, Fiji and South Africa to the Aviva Stadium looking to top the northern hemisphere half of the table.

Then they’ll be preparing for a massive 2027, with the Six Nations followed by the Men’s Rugby World Cup in Australia. Can the men in green make it past the quarter-finals for the first time?
