Ireland will host Japan, Australia and South Africa at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin this autumn.

Andy Farrell’s side will first travel to Chicago to open their autumn campaign against New Zealand at Soldier Field on Saturday 1st November, returning to the venue where they famously defeated the All Blacks for the first time in 2016.

Ireland then take on Japan in Dublin on Saturday 8th November, marking the Brave Blossoms' first visit to the Aviva Stadium since 2021.

A week later, on Saturday 15th November, Ireland will host Australia in a rematch of last year’s 150th Anniversary Test, when they edged out the Wallabies in a closely fought contest.

The series concludes on Saturday 22nd November, with a showdown against reigning world champions South Africa. The sides last met in a thrilling two-Test series in South Africa last summer, which ended in a draw.
