It's set to be a landmark Guinness Women's Six Nations for Ireland in 2026 as Scott Bemand's side grow the Green Wave by playing their home fixtures in Galway, Belfast and Dublin.
With Aviva Stadium already confirmed for a historic clash against Scotland in May, the IRFU is today delighted to confirm Dexcom Stadium in Galway and Affidea Stadium in Belfast as host venues for Ireland's other home Championship venues for 2026.
Ireland will open their Guinness Women's Six Nations away to England at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, 11 April (Kick-off 2.25pm) before returning home to host Italy at Dexcom Stadium on Saturday, 18 April (Kick-off 5.40pm), in what will be another milestone occasion for Irish Rugby.
The newly renovated Home of Connacht Rugby - which officially opens in January - will play host to its first Guinness Women's Six Nations match with Ireland Women's only previous appearance in Galway being a 15-8 victory over Canada in April 2006.
Bemand's side then travel to France in Round 3 on Saturday, 25 April (Kick-off 8.10pm) before concluding the Championship with back-to-back home matches in Belfast and Dublin.
Affidea Stadium has staged a number of Women's internationals in recent years and Wales will be the visitors to Belfast in Round 4 on Saturday, 9 May (Kick-off 6.30pm), before Scotland come to Aviva Stadium on the final weekend on Sunday, 17 May (Kick-off 2.30pm).
The Round 5 clash will be the first ever standalone Women's international at the Home of Irish Rugby, and ticket sales are already surging for what promises to be a memorable occasion.
Tickets for all three of Ireland's home matches in the Guinness Women's Six Nations are now available.
