IRELAND Women’s historic Test match against Australia at Kingspan Stadium in Belfast this Saturday, September 14, will be broadcast live on TG4 in a match that also marks the start of Irish Rugby’s 150th Year Celebrations.
It promises to be a memorable occasion for Irish Rugby as Scott Bemand‘s side go head-to-head with the Wallaroos, currently ranked fifth in the world, and supporters can tune in to all the action live on TG4 and TG4.ie (Kick-off 2.30pm).
The Irish language broadcaster has been a longstanding supporter of women’s rugby having recently concluded its excellent free-to-air coverage of the Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship for a fourth consecutive season, while last season TG4 broadcast the Men’s and Women’s Energia All-Ireland League Finals from Aviva Stadium.
It is the second time TG4 has carried live free-to-air coverage of the Ireland Women’s team after broadcasting the historic two-Test Summer Tour of Japan in August 2021.
Commenting on today’s announcement, Ben Mulligan, IRFU Senior Commercial Manager, said: “We are delighted to confirm TG4 will broadcast our upcoming 150th Anniversary Test match in Belfast, providing Irish Rugby supporters with the opportunity to watch coverage of what promises to be a brilliant occasion.
“We are proud to work with TG4, who continue to show steadfast commitment to Irish Rugby and, in particular, the women’s game with their free-to-air coverage of our domestic competitions and national team. We look forward to working with the team at TG4 to bring supporters the very best coverage from Kingspan Stadium.”
