Darren Cave, Tom Court, Declan Fitzpatrick, Iain Henderson, Chris Henry, Paddy Jackson, Paul Marshall, Andrew Trimble and Dan Tuohy are the other Ulster players selected.
The IRFU has also named a 26-man Emerging Ireland squad that will compete in the Tbilisi Cup in Georgia, this summer.
Michael Allen, Michael Heaney, Rob Herring, Ricky Lutton, Robbie Diack and Lewis Stevenson have all been selected for the competition.
Announcing the squads, acting Head Coach, Les Kiss, said:
“Both tours are hugely important in the context of providing valuable game exposure, building depth and gaining experience in the Irish jersey. For the North America tour we have selected a squad who I believe has the right mix of youth and experience and I'm really looking forward to working with them over the next few weeks. The USA and Canada have improved enormously since the 2011 RWC and we know we will be in for two tough test matches.”
“The Georgia tour will be a great experience for the players, most of whom have recently come through the Ireland underage system. It will be a tough tour with three games in 14 days and a smaller squad of 26 players, which should mean everyone getting significant game time.”
