Ireland Rugby World Cup fixtures for the 2019 tournament in Japan

Ireland will begin their 2019 Rugby World Cup journey against Six Nations rivals Scotland on Sunday, September 22.

Joe Schmidt's side are bidding to reach the semi-finals of the tournament for the first time and while they are odds-on to make the last eight - big guns await.

The winners of Ireland's group will take on the runners-up of Pool B where New Zealand and South Africa will likely fight it out.

And if Ireland come second in their group, they will face the winners of Pool B in the quarter-finals.
