The first game against the World No 1 will take place on Thursday, June 26 in Denver, Colorado ahead of the teams meeting again on Sunday, June 29 in Cincinnati.
Ireland have played the United States 15 times, most recently in a doubleheader in the run-up to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

See you in the summer, @USWNT 😉🤝

Ireland WNT Head Coach Carla Ward said: “We are looking forward to these two games against the best international team in women’s football as they will provide the kind of challenge that we need to expose our players to more often.
“As we continue to work on further developing our squad, these games will allow us the opportunity to put some of our work into practice in what will be two intense games that we will learn a lot from.”
US head coach Emma Hayes said: “Ireland is one of the most difficult European teams to play against, so I’m happy we could get these games.
“We need to play teams that will push us and create an environment where our players have to solve problems and play under pressure.
"We’re still early in our process of building towards World Cup qualifying for ’27 and we still have a lot of growth to go as a team and as individuals, so these summer matches at these great soccer venues will once again provide a platform for the players to show their abilities to excel at a high level.”
