Below you can find all the confirmed Ireland rugby fixtures for 2025 in one place – for both the men’s and women’s teams.

There’ll be big changes for the men’s team behind the scenes, with head coach Andy Farrell taking a break to manage the British & Irish Lions on their tour to Australia. Assistant Simon Easterby steps up to number one for the next set of Ireland rugby fixtures, as the team attempt to win their third Six Nations Championship in a row.

The women’s side also have the Six Nations on the horizon, and will be looking to build on 2024’s third place. Their priority, however, is sure to be the Rugby World Cup next summer. Ireland’s campaign kicks off against Japan.
