Ireland 2025/2026 Canterbury Rugby Training Jersey

Technical specifications

Care tips

Machine wash at 30°C maximum, delicate cycle recommended. Air drying is essential — no tumble dryer, to preserve the elastane and Vapodri properties. No fabric softener, which clogs technical fibres and reduces sweat evacuation. Do not iron over prints or logos.

Design

The 95% recycled polyester offers the same performance as virgin polyester (lightness, strength, quick drying) while reducing the manufacturing carbon footprint. The jacquard knit structures the fabric to prevent transparency and increases abrasion resistance during repeated contact. The integrated 5% elastane guarantees immediate elastic recovery after stretching — essential for explosive training movements. The structured sleeves hold the arm without excessive compression, allowing full range of motion during long passes or high tackles. The round neck without a central seam limits irritation during extended sessions.

Ireland national team

Ireland is among the major nations of world rugby, renowned for its intense collective play and power in contact. The Shamrock XV has produced iconic players such as Brian O'Driscoll (record national team caps and legendary captain), Johnny Sexton (tactical playmaker and world-class kicker), Paul O'Connell (iconic second row and leader) and Ronan O'Gara (record points scorer for Ireland). The team competes every year in the Six Nations Championship and represents the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) on the international stage.

Canterbury

Founded in 1904 in New Zealand, Canterbury is a historic reference in world rugby. For more than a century the brand has equipped national teams, professional clubs and amateur players with products recognised for their durability under repeated contact and their technical design suited to the demands of the modern game. The slogan "Committed to the Game" reflects this constant commitment alongside rugby's players, from amateur level to international competitions. Canterbury also develops proprietary technical materials such as Vapodri, which optimises thermal management during exertion.
