History_of_rugby_union_matches_between_Ireland_and_the_United_States
Ireland and United States first played each other at rugby union in 1994 with Ireland emerging victorious, 26–15 at their home ground, Lansdowne Road, in Dublin.[1] They have played each other eleven times, five times in the United States, five times in Ireland and once at a neutral venue in New Zealand during the 2011 Rugby World Cup.[1] Ireland and the US also played each other in the 1999 Rugby World Cup, but the fixture was played at Ireland's home ground.[1] Ireland's 3–83 victory against the USA in June 2000 is their highest score and largest winning margin against any international opponent.[2] Ireland have won all eleven matches played between the teams.[2] In March 1990 an under-25 Ireland side beat at full USA side 12–10 at Thomond Park.[3] Four days prior to competing in their first international test match, a full USA side beat an Ireland Development side 13–20 at the Galway Sportsground on 1 November 1994.[3]
