The Ireland Women’s National Team will begin their 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup Qualifiers with a home game against France on Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026.
After being drawn into Group A2, Ireland were paired with France, Netherlands and Poland as they look to make it to the finals tournament in Brazil in 2027.
The qualifying campaign will kick off against top seeds France – who are currently 6th in the FIFA Women’s World Rankings – in what will be the 15th meeting between the two teams at senior women’s level.
After hosting France in the first international window of 2026, Ireland will travel to take on Netherlands, who are 11th in the FIFA Women’s World Rankings.
In April, Carla Ward’s team will come up against World No. 26 Poland in back-to-back games – starting away on Tuesday, April 14th before meeting again on home soil on Saturday, April 18th.
The Group games will conclude in June with a home game against Netherlands on Friday, June 5th and an away fixture to France on Tuesday, June 9th.
Negotiations are taking place on match venues and kick-off times, while ticket details will be confirmed in due course.
It is thought likely that at least some of thebgame will be staged at the Aviva Stadium with SuperValu Pairc Uí Chaoimh and Tallaght Stadium both also in the mix.
