Munster Rugby have this morning confirmed that the province will take on the All Blacks XV on Saturday November 2nd at Thomond Park (5.30pm).
Since the redevelopment of Thomond Park in 2008, Munster Rugby have hosted international opposition in the form of the All Blacks, Australia and the Māori All Blacks at the Limerick venue.
More recently Munster Rugby have hosted sold-out clashes against South Africa A and the Crusaders in Cork’s SuperValu Páirc Ui Chaoimh in November 2022 and February 2024.
Commenting on today’s announcement Munster Rugby CEO Ian Flanagan said:
“We will be delighted to welcome the All Blacks XV to Thomond Park in November as part of their Northern Hemisphere tour.
“We have a long and rich history of hosting international sides and I’m sure November’s match will add another exciting chapter to this tradition.”
