The first Ireland vs New Zealand game took place all the way back in 1905. The clash took place at Lansdowne Road, Dublin and New Zealand ran out 15-0 winners.
Yes. Ireland and New Zealand have clashed twice before at the Rugby World Cup. Back in 1995, New Zealand defeated Ireland 43-19 during the pool stage. Following this, the All Blacks defeated Ireland 46-14 in the quarter-final of the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
Yes. Ireland have played New Zealand 36 times since 1905. New Zealand have won 30 of these meetings, while Ireland have won five and one has ended in a draw. Interestingly though, Ireland have won three of the last five meetings between the two sides. In fact, all five of Ireland’s wins have come since 2016.

World Rugby is set to introduce a global trial of four new laws next year, aimed at enhancing game pace and player protection.
The Autumn Nations Series 2024 resumes this weekend and the southern hemisphere sides will hope to continue their dominance.
It was a dumb decision to kick the while Cheslin was running to charge down the kick.
So with 3 minutes to go, NZ 4 points ahead, and the ABs in possession at a ruck a few metres inside the Irish half, the NZ halfback decides now is the time to give the ball back to Ireland - to give the opponent one last crack.
The low-percentage box kick was what Ireland were hoping for from Smith.
NZ could have retained the ball hitting up runners, passing to put pressure on the Irish defence, which in turn may even have forced the Irish to concede a penalty.
Instead, it was Ireland who held the ball for remainder of the game (deep in NZ's half), until Sam Whitelock's turnover.
Perhaps someone can explain to me the genius of Smith's decision.
Tell me why I am wrong.
The boks gonna win tonight
Well Done All Blacks
YES to Southern Hemisphere.
Well done All Blacks and Ireland. It is tough play, when one has to rely on an "impartial" ref.
Let's us respect each others teams!
But hej - I am looking forward again to a Springbok - All Black final!
I acknowledge that the best team won on the night but we no longer respect Zealand rugby like we did we will make life on the pitch he’ll for yous in the future the ref was poor ground rugby has no place in the modern game. Explain why players are allowed to go to ground in multiplayer and why Ireland were penalised in the scrum area and it was the NZ props on the ground. Early penalties hurt Ireland crazy referees
Things you love to see🫡🥝⬛️
Once again Ireland came into a world cup as No 1 and once again the QF curse could not be broken... To all the Irish fans - You'll never participate in a Rugby World Cup final you'll only watch it on the tv. Thanks for coming - at least this time you do not have to travel so far home but its still empty handed.
I look forward to Nick Bishop yet again telling us how NZ's defence is it's weakness. Those wide turnovers were gold...black gold.
AB’s were immense. Massive reply to all their critics, game plan on point, Cane was immense. Won the game with 2 yellow’s
