Although Ireland has never totally hosted the [[Rugby World Cup]], select games from both the [[1991 Rugby World Cup|1991]] and [[1999 Rugby World Cup|1999 World Cups]] were played throughout venues in Ireland. Pool B in 1991 was mainly played in Ireland and Scotland, with two games at Lansdowne Road (involving Ireland) and one (Zimbabwe v Japan) played at Ravenhill, Belfast. A quarter-final and a semi-final were also hosted by Dublin. A similar system was used in 1999, though in addition to Lansdowne and Ravenhill, [[Thomond Park]] was also a venue. Lansdowne Road was also the host of a quarter-final in 1999. Ireland were set to host matches at Lansdowne Road for the [[2007 Rugby World Cup|2007 World Cup]], but due to scheduling conflicts with the reconstruction of the stadium, they decided they were not in a position to host any.<ref name="scotlandgames">{{cite web|website=WorldCupWeb.com |title=Scotland looks to give up World cup matches at Murrayfield |date=2 December 2005 |author=Tighthead |url=http://www.worldcupweb.com/WCrugby/content/show_article.asp?id=461&cat=2 }}{{dead link|date=March 2020|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

===Rugby World Cup===

{{Ireland Rugby World Cup record}}
 
Ireland have competed at every [[Rugby World Cup]] tournament. The furthest they have progressed is the quarter-finals, which they have made eight times out of ten. They have finished top of their pool three times; in 2011, after beating pool favourite [[Australia national rugby union team|Australia]], in 2015 leaving [[France national rugby union team|France]] in 2nd place, and in 2023 when they defeated the reigning world champions [[South Africa national rugby union team|South Africa]].
 
In the first tournament, held in Australia and New Zealand in 1987, Ireland finished second in their pool after a loss to Wales, before Ireland were knocked out by Australia in the quarter-final in Sydney.
 
In [[1991 Rugby World Cup|1991]] Ireland again lost one match in pool play, this time to Scotland. Ireland again met Australia in the quarter-finals, losing by one point.
 
In [[1995 Rugby World Cup|1995]] Ireland were runner-up in their pool to the [[New Zealand national rugby union team]]. Ireland were defeated by France in their quarter-final in Durban.
 
In [[1999 Rugby World Cup|1999]] Ireland finished second in their pool behind Australia, and went into the quarter-final play-offs (a system exclusive to the 1999 tournament). There they lost to Argentina, and thus, not being a quarter-finalists, Ireland were not given automatic entry into the 2003 tournament.
