Introducing the Celtic Challenge on Vodafone IE

Introducing the Celtic Challenge | #TeamOfUs

This is the first year of the Celtic Challenge, a unique tournament where a Combined Provinces XV will play in two home and two away games over a six-week period against their counterparts from Scotland and Wales.

This pilot tournament will give Irish rugby the chance to develop a wider group of players to cross country competition and represents a great warm up for the Women's Six Nations in late March/early April

Fixture list below and keep an eye out for your chance to win tickets to cheer on the team.
