Report

Ireland’s best ever performances in the Women’s Six Nations Rugby came when winning the Championship in 2013 and 2015. In 2013 Ireland won all five matches finishing four points ahead of both France and England. The 2015 Championship was the most competitive, with four points separating the top five countries, Ireland winning on points difference from France after both finished on 8 points. Ireland had been steadily improving, having finished fourth in both 2007 and 2008, the Irish Women then came third four years running from 2009 to 2012 before their big triumph in 2013. In 2014 it was back to third, and again in 2016 after victory in the 2015 Championship. Try and Losing Bonus Bonus Points were brought in from 2017 onwards, with double the amount of points for a win or draw.

Report

Ireland had to qualify for the IRB Rugby World Cup in 1999, along with England, Scotland, and Italy, as France and Wales were the only countries from the Europe Zone given an automatic Qualification Berth based on prior World Cup performances.

Ireland were placed in Pool 1 and automatically qualified for Round C. Ukraine had qualified from Round A in Pool 1 and went through to Round B with Italy and Georgia who both qualified for Round C.

In round C Ireland started off with an easy 70-0 in over Georgia, and then after Georgia lost to Romania by the slender margin of 23-27, Ireland just had to defeat Romania in their last Pool match to top their Pool but made heavy work of defeating Romania, 53-35 in a high-scoring game, as both teams qualified for the Rugby World Cup.

Meanwhile in Pool 2, England scored a record 110-0 win over Netherlands and then struggled against Italy, winning 23-15 as they both qualified. In Pool 3 Scotland made light work of Spain and Portugal, with Spain getting the other qualification place.

The IRB (International Rugby Board) governs World Rugby Union, and the 1999 World Cup was the fourth edition.

Report

The Irish Rugby Football Union introduced the All-Ireland League as a level above the Provincial Leagues in 1991-92.

Limerick Clubs dominated play during the first decade of the League, with Garryowen (1991-92 and 1993-94) and Young Munster (1992-93) winning the first three, before another Limerick club, Shannon, won four in a row from 1994-95 to 1997-98.

The AIL then introduced a knockout Top Four Playoff system in 1998-99.

Report

The Celtic League in Rugby Union underwent another name change in 2017 with the addition of two South African Provinces: Southern Kings and Cheetahs. Leinster won the Championship in 2017-18 and again in 2018-19, and were well out in front in 2019-20 after winning all of their first 13 games before the COVID-19 virus outbreak caused the cancellation of the rest of the season.

Report

In the seven seasons the Pro 12 operated as a 12-team League, Irish Provinces dominated, winning four of the seven Championships. Leinster won the Championship in 2012-13 and 2013-14, Munster were Champions in 2010-11, and Connacht triumphed for the first time in 2015-16. Welsh sides Ospreys (based in Swansea) won in 2011-12, and Scarlets (based in Llanelli) won in 2016-17, with Glasgow Warriors winning it for Scotland in 2014-15.

The Pro 12, run by Celtic Rugby Ltd, became a 12-team League in 2010-11 with the admission of two Italian teams, with each team playing home & away for a 22-game season plus a Final Series featuring the Top 4. After one year where it continued to be known as the Magners League due to sponsorship reasons it changed its name to the Pro 12.

In addition the top teams qualified for the European Champions Cup alongside the Top French (Top 14) and English (Premiership) teams. After 2017, two South African Provinces, Southern Kings and Cheetahs were admitted, changing the name of the League to the Pro 14.
