The Ireland WNT have learned their opponents for their return to UEFA Nations League B next year.

A flawless performance in League B last winter saw Ireland promoted to the top tier for this year's Euro 2025 qualifiers (run through the Nations League system). An incredibly tough draw pitted them against three of the world's top-five-ranked teams in England, France, and Sweden.

Though the League A campaign ended on a high with victory over France in Cork, the five defeats that preceded that game mean Ireland have been relegated and return to League B.

The draw for the 2025 Nations League took place in Nyon in Switzerland on Thursday morning.
