Connacht's Dexcom Stadium has been chosen as a host venue for Ireland's 2026 Women's Six Nations meeting with Italy on April 18th 2026. The game is fixed for a 5:40 pm kick off, and tickets can now be purchased on Ticketmaster.
This comes as the IRFU have decided to spread the fixtures out across Dublin, Belfast and Galway. The Irish women's rugby team haven't played in Galway since a 15-8 victory over Canada in April 2006.
Ulster Rugby's Affidea Stadium in Belfast will host the round 4 clash with Wales on Saturday, 9th May, before a historic game against Scotland at the Aviva Stadium in the final game of the campaign on Sunday, May 17th.
The IRFU's Head of Women's Performance and Pathways, Gillian McDarby, said: "As we build towards 2026, today’s announcement of the three home venues for the Guinness Women’s Six Nations further underlines the IRFU’s sustained commitment to the expansion and development of the Women’s game in Ireland. We look forward to working with Connacht Rugby, Ulster Rugby and the team at Aviva Stadium to deliver memorable events for all our supporters, partners and stakeholders, and building further on the positive momentum behind the Green Wave into 2026.”
