Men's Under-18 Rugby | Italy vs Ireland

On Saturday 1 November 2025, at the Pompeo Francisco Macrì Stadium in Cosenza, great rugby returns with the international test match between the Italian Under-18 Men's National Team and their Irish counterparts. The kick-off is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., in a match that promises excitement and spectacle.

For the Azzurrini, it will be an opportunity to inaugurate the new course led by coach Alessandro Lodi, in an event that also marks an important moment for the promotion of rugby in Calabria. The initiative, organised by Rugby Cosenza with the support of the Italian Rugby Federation, aims to promote rugby in Southern Italy, a region rich in passion and sporting potential.

Alongside the match, fans will be able to enjoy the atmosphere of the Rugby Village, set up in the area in front of the stadium, with food and wine stands, refreshment points and areas dedicated to official merchandise.
