All Blacks face off against Ireland in Friendlies Round 3 on Fri 17th July 2026 at Eden Park. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 01:00. In South Africa it’s at 02:00 SAST, 12:00 NZST in New Zealand, 10:00 AEST in Australia and 17:00 EST in the US.
All Blacks won the last encounter but All Blacks are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 3 places in the rankings with All Blacks in position 2 and Ireland in position 5, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for All Blacks vs Ireland will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
