Ireland Six Nations Hospitality 2026

Ireland’s 2025 Guinness Six Nations campaign was a spirited showcase of their enduring quality, finishing third with an impressive four wins from five matches. Guided by interim coach Simon Easterby, they kicked off with a thrilling 24-18 victory over England at the Aviva Stadium on February 1st, dazzling fans with Bundee Aki and Dan Sheehan’s flair. A commanding 32-18 bonus-point win against Scotland at Murrayfield kept their momentum soaring, while a gritty 19-12 triumph in Cardiff over Wales on February 22nd highlighted their resilience. Though a 42-27 loss to eventual champions France on March 8th halted Grand Slam dreams, Ireland bounced back brilliantly, clinching a 22-17 bonus-point victory against Italy in Rome on March 15th, with Sheehan’s hat-trick stealing the show. Amassing 18 points, they fell just short of France’s 20, but their attacking verve—ranking third in tries scored—lit up the tournament. With a blend of experience and emerging talent, Ireland proved their mettle, securing memorable wins and setting an optimistic tone for the summer ahead. The Aviva roared with pride, and while the title slipped away, this campaign reaffirmed Ireland’s status as a Six Nations powerhouse.
