Upcoming Ireland rugby fixtures for both the men’s and women’s teams in 2026 are all on this page. You’ll also find details of all the matches the men will play in the 2027 Six Nations championship.

Ireland’s women are currently in action in the Six Nations, where they’re looking to build on successful Women’s Rugby World Cup campaign in which they reached the quarter-finals before eventually losing to France. Later in 2026 they’ll be participating in the WXV Global Series, though their fixtures are yet to be confirmed.

Andy Farrell‘s men, meanwhile, are fresh from finishing second in the Six Nations and will be targeting going one better in the all-new Nations Championship when it kicks off in July. Their campaign gets underway in Sydney, where they’ll face Australia.

Read on to see every Ireland rugby fixture that’s currently been confirmed. You can find other teams’ schedules in our guides to upcoming England, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa and Wales fixtures, and for other international and club sides, check out our detailed round-up of rugby fixtures around the world.
