A Lansdowne Road classic – this 2001 Ireland alternate short sleeve jersey, made by Canterbury, is a high-quality design from an era when Ireland were beginning to establish themselves as a real force in world rugby. This alternate strip was famously worn against the Springboks, making it a memorable jersey for Irish supporters.

The design is simple yet timeless, carrying the shamrock crest with pride. Condition is very good overall, though it does show some expected age-related wear with light wash fade and cracking to the front sponsor logo – a common issue with jerseys of this era. Rare XXL sizing that fits true to size.

Hugely popular among Irish rugby fans, this jersey represents the traditional style of the early 2000s and makes an excellent addition to any international collection. With the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia approaching, now is a perfect time to secure a vintage Irish jersey tied to an iconic fixture.

Worldwide shipping and Afterpay available.
