Ireland Replica Rugby Ball T5 Gilbert Supporter Collection

Technical specifications

Care advice

Clean the ball with a damp cloth after use, without aggressive detergent. Do not leave in prolonged direct sunlight or store inflated at high pressure — deflate slightly between sessions to preserve the bladder. Avoid abrasive surfaces (asphalt, gravel) that prematurely wear the synthetic material.

Design

Gilbert's synthetic TEK finish offers a compromise between grip and durability for recreational use. The stitched panels follow standard rugby construction with four longitudinal stitches, ensuring stable trajectory in passing and foot play. The inner butyl bladder maintains pressure for several weeks without frequent re-inflation. This replica model differs from match balls by the absence of advanced flight technologies (no textured grip or optimized aerodynamic profile), but retains regulatory weight and dimensions for a game feel close to real conditions.

Ireland Rugby Team

Ireland's rugby team competes in the Six Nations Tournament and regularly ranks in the world top 5. The emblematic green shamrock has adorned the jersey for over a century, a symbol of strong rugby identity carried by historic clubs such as Leinster, Munster and Ulster. This replica ball allows supporters to extend their passion beyond the stands, during game sessions with friends or in amateur collective play.

Gilbert Brand

Gilbert has equipped the Rugby World Cup since 1995 and remains the world reference for rugby balls. The TEK replica range democratizes access to national team colours without compromise on durability. Historic manufacturer since 1823, Gilbert controls every step of design, from material selection to validation of shape and weight tolerances.
