Ireland U20 men's and women's squads announced for summer tournaments
THE MEN'S AND women's squads that will represent Ireland in their respective U20 tournaments this summer have been announced. Neil Doak's side will compete in the men's U20 World Championship with Connacht's Éanna McCarthy captaining the 30-player squad for the trip to Italy. 'It's been a challenging season,,' says Doak, 'but this group has shown resilience and real character. We know the competition at the World Championships will be fierce, but these experiences have made us stronger. We're looking forward to the opportunity to test ourselves on the world stage.' Niamh Briggs has named a 35-person squad for the women's U20 2025 Summer Series in Wales, with Wicklow's Jane Neill named as captain again for the second year of the competition. 'This competition represents a significant step in our player development pathway. It provides a valuable opportunity for young athletes to challenge themselves against top-level opposition, experience the demands of an international environment, and continue their progression toward senior rugby,' Briggs said.

Ireland squad named for World Rugby U20 Championship
Head coach Neil Doak has named a 30-player squad for the World Rugby U20 Championship in Italy. Connacht's Éanna McCarthy will captain the side in the tournament, which runs from 29 June to 19 July. Ireland have been drawn alongside New Zealand, Georgia and the hosts in Pool C in the 12-team tournament. Doak, whose side endured an abject Six Nations Under 20s Championship campaign that featured a solitary win in five outings, said: "It's been a challenging season, but this group has shown resilience and real character. "We know the competition at the World Championships will be fierce, but these experiences have made us stronger. "We're looking forward to the opportunity to test ourselves on the world stage." Meanwhile, Ireland U20s women head coach Niamh Briggs has named a 35-person squad for next month's Six Nations Women's Summer Series in Wales.
