Ireland Women’s Rugby: Autumn Tests

The Ireland Women’s rugby team will host a two match series in November, welcoming the USA on the 12^th and Japan on the 20^th.

We are looking forward to once again having the opportunity to support our team after over 18 months of matches taking place behind closed doors.

Friday 12^th November 2021          KO 19.15              Ireland Women v USA Women

Saturday 20^th November 2021    KO 15.00              Ireland Women v Japan Women

The venue will be the RDS, which is set to become the new home for the Ireland Women’s squad.

We want to ensure that our players get the best ‘welcome back’ and housewarming gift that we can provide, which is as many of their supporters cheering them on as possible.

To help fill the stadium and turn it into the normal cauldron of noisy support for our Women’s team, there are a number of special ticket offers on sale via Ticketmaster here. Tickets are priced at €10 for stand, €7 for terrace, €5 for schoolboy/girl and €25 for Family Stand (2 adults, 2 kids). There is also a buy one, get one half price offer on all adult tickets.

We are also offering bus subsidies for clubs looking to bring a number of supporters to the matches.

If a club purchases 20 tickets or over, a subsidy of €200 will be offered.

If a club purchases 40 tickets or over, a subsidy of €400 will be offered.
