The Ireland Women’s National Team (WNT) will conclude their home group campaign in the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifying series when they take on the Netherlands at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Friday June 5, with kick-off at 7.30pm.
This will mark the third time the WNT will play at the Cork venue, following a memorable 3–1 victory over France in front of 18,399 spectators in 2024 and a 1–0 win against Slovenia last year.
The ‘Girls in Green’ recently recorded back-to-back wins over Poland that have boosted their chances of qualifying for a second World Cup tournament – albeit with two group games and potential play-offs still to play.
Ireland WNT head coach Carla Ward said: “We are really looking forward to bringing the squad back to Cork in June. We love playing in Cork.
“The team has won both matches at Pairc Ui Chaoimh so far, and we will be aiming to continue that run against the Netherlands.
“I’ve no doubt that our supporters will come out in their numbers to back the team as we aim to move closer to securing a place at the World Cup.”
Returning to Cork for the ninth time, the WNT have previously played at both Turner’s Cross and Flower’s Lodge but recorded their most significant result at Páirc Uí Chaoimh with victory over then world number 2 ranked France in July 2024.
Tickets will go on public sale on Wednesday, April 22.
