About Six Nations 2027: Italy v Ireland

Italy welcome Ireland to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Saturday 13 February — a Six Nations 2027 trip that ranks among the great away weekends in the championship, and Irish support travels to Rome in huge numbers. The Stadio Olimpico sits in the Foro Italico on the banks of the Tiber, an easy tram or Metro ride north of the historic centre, so a rugby weekend in Rome comes with the Colosseum, the Vatican, the piazzas and the food on either side of the match.

Six Nations away support travels in numbers and hotels fill for a match Saturday, so book early. Stay near the centre or a Metro line for the run to the ground, with the trattorias and piazzas filling the rest of the weekend.

History

Italy welcome Ireland to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome in the second round of the 2027 Six Nations, a fixture that has become one of the championship's favourite away weekends, with Irish support travelling to the Italian capital in huge numbers. Italy have been part of the tournament since 2000, when their arrival turned the Five Nations into six, and Rome has hosted their home matches at the Olimpico for most of that time.

The stadium sits in the Foro Italico sports complex on the banks of the Tiber, north of the historic centre and holding upwards of 70,000, an easy tram or Metro ride from the sights. That means a rugby weekend comes wrapped around the Colosseum, the Vatican, the piazzas and the food, and hotels fill for a match Saturday as the travelling fans arrive. Stay near the centre or a Metro line for the run to the ground, with the trattorias filling the rest of the weekend.

About Stadio Olimpico

Rome's grand Stadio Olimpico, home to both Roma and Lazio and the stage for rugby internationals and major concerts, sits within the sweeping Foro Italico complex north of the centre beside the Tiber. The surrounding area mixes riverside paths with striking architecture and sports facilities. Trams and buses link the stadium into central Rome, with Metro connections a short ride away. Booking a room in the centre keeps the Eternal City's landmarks and trattorias close, with a straightforward journey out to the ground.
