Video: Ireland reveal their #RWC2025 squad

By @rugby365com
Monday 11 Aug 2025

SQUAD ANNOUNCEMENT: A 32 person Ireland squad has been named for the World Cup 2025 in England, which kicks off on August 22nd.

The squad is comprised of 18 forwards and 14 backs and is captained by Edel McMahon and Sam Monaghan.

There is one uncapped player in the squad with hooker Beth Buttimer, who impressed in the recent U20 Summer Series getting the call-up. Ivana Kiripati, Nancy McGillivray and Ellena Perry, who all received caps in the recent warm-up games, make the final squad.

The Ireland women’s coaching team is led by head coach Scott Bemand, who is assisted by Alex Codling, Denis Fogarty, Larissa Muldoon, James Scaysbrook and Gareth Steenson.

Bemand stated: “When we qualified for the World Cup in April 2024, we knew it gave us a solid amount of time to prepare for the tournament.

“We have used that time to build depth and cultivate our ‘Green Wave’.

“The majority of this squad have now been together since the start of June, and we are excited to finally get going.”

Co-Captain McMahon said: “Missing out on the last World Cup lit a fire in all of us. Getting Ireland back on the world stage means absolutely everything, it’s something we have dreamed of and fought for ever since.

“We’re ready, and we are going to give it everything for our country.”

Monaghan added: “The ‘Green Wave’ is more than just a slogan for us—it’s the spirit we carry onto the field. Over the coming weeks, we want to make our families proud and inspire the nation.

“This is a moment we’ve worked tirelessly for, and we’ll leave nothing behind.”
