Ireland confirm venues for Six Nations fixtures

Ireland will welcome France to Belfast and England to Cork in the 2025 Six Nations.

Scott Bemand's side will begin their campaign at Kingspan Stadium on 22 March against a French side ranked fourth in the world.

Ireland played Scotland at Kingspan Stadium in last year's Six Nations, winning the game to qualify for the 2025 World Cup.

They returned to the home of Ulster Rugby in September, beating the Wallaroos in what was a warm-up for their WXV1 campaign.

After an away trip to face Italy, they will then host the Red Roses at Musgrave Park on 12 April before finishing with visits to Wales and Scotland.

Ireland beat Wales in Cork during last season's Six Nations and used the venue for both of their home games in the 2023 championship.
