This iconic 2010 Ireland commemorative jersey was released to mark a major milestone — the opening test match at the newly built Aviva Stadium, when Ireland faced the Springboks. Made by Puma, it’s a long sleeve replica jersey featuring rare match embroidery, a unique touch not commonly found on fan versions.

While the on-field Puma jerseys infamously ripped during the first half, leading the Irish team to switch kits at halftime, this version holds strong as a high-quality commemorative piece. It’s a rare and historic addition to any Ireland rugby collection.

Tagged Medium and fits true to size, though it runs slightly shorter in length than a traditional medium.

Condition: Excellent – fabric, stitching, and embroidery all in top shape. No flaws or damage.
