November.

Ireland will welcome three Southern Hemisphere teams to Aviva Stadium this November, as the 2025 Autumn Nations Series fixtures have been confirmed.

Andy Farrell‘s side will face Japan, Australia and South Africa in three mouthwatering clashes in Dublin over the course of three consecutive Saturdays this Autumn, as Ireland supporters are once again treated to a brilliant line-up of Test rugby at Aviva Stadium.

Ireland’s return to Soldier Field was also announced as they open their Autumn campaign against New Zealand in Chicago on Saturday, 1 November (Kick-off 3.10pm local time/8.10pm Irish time).

Ireland return to Dublin a week later to face Japan at Aviva Stadium on Saturday, 8 November (Kick-off 12.40pm), before the Wallabies visit on Saturday, 15 November (Kick-off 8.10pm).

It will be the Brave Blossoms’ first visit to Aviva Stadium since 2021, while Ireland and Australia will go head-to-head for the second successive year after the sides contested Irish Rugby’s 150th Anniversary Test last November.

The Series finale will see Farrell’s side renew battle lines with South Africa in what promises to be a thrilling showdown after the Springboks and Ireland most recently played out a series draw in South Africa last summer.
