This 2006 Ireland long sleeve rugby jersey, made by Canterbury of New Zealand, is a classic piece of Irish rugby history. It was the first jersey to feature the O2 sponsor logo on the front – a design that would become strongly associated with Ireland throughout the 2000s.

Tagged XL but fitting up to XXL, this is a big, heavy-duty jersey weighing 610 grams, showcasing Canterbury’s traditional high-quality construction. The jersey remains in very good condition overall, with only light marks visible on the white panels, common for its age but not detracting from its strong presentation.

A must-have for Irish rugby fans and collectors, this jersey captures the early years of Ireland’s rise in European rugby. With the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia on the horizon, this is the perfect time to add a vintage Irish long sleeve to your collection.

Worldwide shipping and Afterpay available.
