Ireland to host the All Blacks in November

The IRFU have confirmed Ireland's November Test schedule. The current Six Nations Champions will face Argentina first up, Los Pumas return to Dublin twelve months after a thrilling match in front of a soldout Aviva Stadium which saw Ireland win 28-19.

The second game of the series marks the return of the All Blacks. It is two years since New Zealand last played at the Aviva Stadium where they exacted revenge for Ireland's historic win in Chicago just a few weeks before.

The final game of the series sees the USA Eagles make their debut appearance at the Aviva Stadium in what will be their first visit to Dublin since 2004. USA will be brimming with confidence having claimed a major scalp, beating Scotland in Houston.

Speaking about the Guinness Series, IRFU Commercial and Marketing Director Padraig Power said;

"We are delighted to be welcoming Argentina, New Zealand, and USA to Aviva Stadium this November. Demand for tickets from rugby clubs has been exceptionally high and we expect the remaining tickets that go on general sale to be snapped up.

We know that Ireland fans will relish the opportunity to see the team in action and we look forward to some great games in November."

In addition to the three Series matches Ireland will return to Soldier Field in early November to face Italy as part of The Rugby Weekend Tripleheader.
