Ireland will host the All Blacks again in the November Internationals 2021. However, the Irish Times are reporting a deal is also in the works to have a three-Test tour a year later.  the IRFU and NZR are currently in negotiations with an agreement expected.

Ireland last visited in 2012 for the Steinlager Series which culminated in a 60-0 hammering and 3-0 series defeat.

This Saturday's meeting is the first time the sides have met since 2016. Ireland made history that year, with a 40-29 victory at Soldier Field, Chicago. The All Blacks avenged that on their return to Dublin with a 21-9 loss at the Aviva Stadium.
