Ireland

They have appeared at every World Cup although have not yet progressed past the Quarter Final stage of the competition.

They compete in the Six Nations Championships every spring and have won the Championship outright on 14 occasions, sharing the title a further 9 times. They have captured 3 grand slam titles in 1948, 2009 & 2018.
