TheIreland Wolfhounds (variously branded as Ireland Wolfhounds, Ireland A, Ireland B and Ireland XV) are the second nationalrugby union team of Ireland, behind theIreland national team.

History

[edit]

The Wolfounds previously competed in theChurchill Cup together with theEngland Saxons, the national teams ofCanada and theUnited States, as well as a selection of other nations' 1st, 2nd and 3rd representative sides (including Scotland A and theNew Zealand Māori). They also played against otherSix Nations countries' A sides during the Six Nations. They have intermittently played touring sides, namelySouth Africa in 2000, theAll Blacks in 2001 andAustralia in 2006. On the 21 June 2009, Ireland A won their firstChurchill Cup, beating the England Saxons 49–22 in the final. They also won the Churchill Plate three times in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Initially named Ireland B, the side was redesignated to Ireland A from the 1992–1993 season.[1] They were once again renamed the Ireland Wolfhounds in January 2010.[2] This name was inspired by a nomadic invitational side, which competed between 1956 and 1987 against other club sides throughout Ireland.[3] The Wolfhounds have not competed in a competition since the IRFU declined to compete in the 2016 Tbilisi Cup.[4] Ireland A played their first match in over seven years against the All Blacks XV in November 2022 at the RDS losing 19–47.[5][6]
