Warrington Wolves and Wigan Warriors will make history next year when they contest the first-ever Super League fixture to be played in Ireland.

The two fierce rivals will meet at the newly redeveloped Laya Arena in Dublin on Saturday 24 April 2027, 5.30pm kick-off, taking one of Rugby League's biggest fixtures to the Irish capital for a landmark occasion.

The fixture continues Super League's recent run of blockbuster overseas showcases and follows Warrington and Wigan's historic meeting in Las Vegas in 2025.

Laya Arena, in the heart of Dublin, has undergone a €52 million transformation and officially reopens today (5 August) with the prestigious Dublin Horse Show. It is also the home ground of Leinster Rugby Union. With a capacity exceeding 20,000, the newly redeveloped stadium is among Europe's most modern sporting venues, delivering state-of-the-art facilities, outstanding hospitality and an electric atmosphere that makes it the perfect arena.

The event offers supporters the opportunity to experience Super League in one of Europe's most exciting destinations. With its rich sporting heritage, lively culture and renowned hospitality, Dublin has become an increasingly popular choice for UK visitors. It provides a vibrant setting for what promises to be one of the standout weekends of the 2027 season.

While it will be the first Super League game held in Ireland, Warrington and Wigan previously met in Dublin at Shelbourne Park in 1934, while Wigan returned to the city in 1995 to face Leeds in a Charity Shield fixture.
