PÁIRC UÍ CHAOIMH will host the clash of Munster and Crusaders in February 2024, the Irish province has announced.
Munster said on Friday that approval was being sought at GAA’s Central Council for the use of the grounds in Cork city. The request has since been given the green light.
The fixture, which is set for 3 February, will be the first time that the reigning URC champions and Super Rugby face off against each other. Munster previously played at Páirc Uí Chaoimh for the first time last November when they took on South Africa ‘A’.
🗞 UPDATE | Approval has been granted for a return to Páirc Uí Chaoimh in February 2024 for another huge occasion for the province.

Fair play to the Gaa
@Willie Marty: what do you mean fair play? The venue is under used with millions owed. Munster rugby are as good as bailing them out
La Rochelle should really be playing against the Crusaders.
@John Fagan: La Rochelle didn’t win the URC, Main Event Munster did
@John Fagan: leinster fans are still upset I see
It’s not a champions cup clash, get the facts right, who writes this stuff?
@Nick Cahill: so what is it?
@Nick Cahill: Both teams are champions of their respective league’s. That’s what the title refers to, I assume?
@Tom Leddy: No, it’s misleading, probably on purpose, the game is: Clash of Champions.
@Nick Cahill: The headline has been updated since fist publication
@Tom Leddy: Original headline read: Páirc Uí Chaoimh to host Munster Champions Cup clash with Crusaders in 2024
@Nick Cahill: it says clash of champions in the headline ya numpty
@Nick Cahill: stop living in the past
@Lorne Malvo: No you’re the numpty, original headline read: Páirc Uí Chaoimh to host Munster Champions Cup clash with Crusaders in 2024. It was corrected due to the error being highlighted. Numpty.
@Nick Cahill: yerra I’m just winding you up.
Does this game not have to be played at an all seater stadium?
@Karl Gallagher: Why ? As Nigel Owens famously said “This is rugby, not soccer”.
@Jonathan McCoy: as Danny Blanchflower once famously said when asked “who is going to win” I dont know thats why were going to play the game.
I wonder where ” Not a bucket ” is.
have your say
