New Zealand Vs Ireland May 2026

New Zealand secured a 26-13 victory over Ireland in a November 2025 Test match in Chicago, overcoming an early red card for Tadhg Beirne and building on their 2024 win in Dublin. This result follows a dramatic shift in the rivalry, with the teams splitting 10 meetings evenly since 2016, a sharp contrast to a century of prior All Black dominance.
