Ireland Head Coach Scott Bemand has put one uncapped player in the 32-strong squad the 2025 Rugby World Cup in England which kicks off on August 22nd. Hooker Beth Buttimer, 19, is from Tipperary and who has been starring for Munster and Ireland U20s gets a call up. "Well Done Beth!!!" said Munster coach niamh Briggs of the 2025 Munster Breakthrough Player of the Year. "So happy to see all that hard work recognised, a brilliant role model for any young player dipping their toe into senior rugby, pushes to get better everyday & always with a bit of craic too." Ivana Kiripati, Nancy McGillivray, who were capped in the recent warm up games, also make the final squad While England capped Perry who recently transferred her allegiance to Ireland and made her debut from the bench against Canada last week is also included. The Ireland women’s coaching team is led by Bemand who is assisted by Alex Codling, Denis Fogarty, Larissa Muldoon, James Scaysbrook and Gareth Steenson. The squad is comprised of 18 forwards and 14 backs and is captained by Edel McMahon and Sam Monaghan. “When we qualified for the Rugby World Cup in April 2024, we knew it gave us a solid amount of time to prepare for the tournament. We have used that time to build depth and cultivate our “Green Wave”," says Head coach Bemand. "The majority of this squad have now been together since the start of June, and we are excited to finally get going.” Co-Captain McMahon says: “Missing out on the last World Cup lit a fire in all of us. Getting Ireland back on the world stage means absolutely everything, it’s something we have dreamed of and fought for ever since. We’re ready, and we are going to give it everything for our country.”Monaghan adds: “The ‘Green Wave’ is more than just a slogan for us—it’s the spirit we carry onto the field. Over the coming weeks, we want to make our families proud and inspire the nation. This is a moment we’ve worked tirelessly for, and we’ll leave nothing behind.” Ireland RWC Squad:*Denotes uncapped Backs:Enya Breen (Blackrock College RFC / Munster) (31)Amee Leigh Costigan (Railway Union RFC / Munster) (19)Aoife Dalton (Old Belvedere RFC / Leinster) (24)Méabh Deely (Blackrock College RFC / Connacht) (14)Stacey Flood (Railway Union RFC / Leinster) (20)Nicole Fowley (Galwegians / Connacht) (14)Eve Higgins (Railway Union RFC / Leinster) (28)Emily Lane (Blackrock College RFC / Munster) (17)Anna McGann (Railway Union RFC / Connacht) (11)Nancy McGillivray (Exeter Chiefs / IQ Rugby) (1)Dannah O’Brien (Old Belvedere RFC / Leinster) (26)Béibhinn Parsons (Blackrock College RFC / Connacht) (28)Aoibheann Reilly (Blackrock College RFC / Connacht) (16)Molly Scuffil-McCabe (Manawatū RFC / Leinster) (22) Forwards:Claire Boles (Railway Union RFC / Ulster) (6)Beth Buttimer (UL Bohemian / Munster)*Ruth Campbell (Old Belvedere RFC / Leinster) (8)Eimear Corri Fallon (Blackrock RFC / Leinster) (6)Linda Djougang (Old Belvedere RFC / Leinster) (48)Brittany Hogan (Old Belvedere RFC / Ulster) (34)Neve Jones (Gloucester Hartpury) (37)Ivana Kiripati (Creggs RFC / Connacht) (2)Siobhán McCarthy (Railway Union RFC / Munster) (9)Sadhbh McGrath (Cooke RFC / Ulster) (16)Edel McMahon (Exeter Chiefs / Connacht) (34) Co-CaptainClíodhna Moloney MacDonald (Exeter Chiefs) (45)Sam Monaghan (Gloucester Hartpury / IQ Rugby) (23) Co-CaptainGrace Moore (Trailfinders Women / IQ Rugby) (22)Niamh O’Dowd (Old Belvedere RFC / Leinster) (17)Ellena Perry (Gloucester Hartpury / IQ Rugby) (1)Fiona Tuite (Old Belvedere RFC / Ulster) (17)Aoife Wafer (Blackrock College RFC / Leinster) (15) Get the latest sports headlines straight to your inbox by signing up for free email alerts.
