At Aviva Stadium · Lansdowne Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4
Only the published dates are confirmed for this programme.
Ireland welcome Fiji to the Aviva Stadium in Ballsbridge on Saturday 14 November 2026, part of the men’s autumn fixtures in the 2026 Nations Championship. Fiji have grown into one of the most watchable sides in world rugby, playing with a flair and attacking ambition that makes them a genuine threat to any of the established Tier One nations on their day.
Expect an entertaining, open contest. Fiji’s game is built on pace, offloads and broken-field running, which tends to produce a different kind of test match to Ireland’s usual autumn opponents, and Irish crowds have taken to the fixture in previous years for exactly that reason. A Saturday date generally draws a strong crowd to Ballsbridge from early afternoon, with the area’s pubs filling well before kick-off.
Aviva Stadium sits on Lansdowne Road in Ballsbridge, one of the best-connected grounds in Dublin. The DART stops directly at Lansdowne Road station beside the stadium, the simplest way in and out on match day. Dublin Bus routes serve the wider Ballsbridge area, and there is no general parking at the stadium itself, so public transport is strongly recommended over driving.
A Saturday international is a good excuse to make a day of Ballsbridge: Herbert Park for a walk beforehand, the cafes and restaurants around Lansdowne Road and Baggot Street for food before or after, and an easy bus or DART ride into the city centre if you want to keep the evening going.
