Ireland v South Africa · Aviva Stadium

Ireland versus South Africa has become the fixture in world rugby — the two sides that have traded the number one ranking for three years, at a ground where Ireland rarely lose. Saturday evening in Dublin, then Sunday to recover.

All prices in ZAR, per person, subject to availability and confirmation at the time of booking. Prices are held against exchange rates of €1 = R20.60 and £1 = R23.98 and may be re-quoted if rates move materially before deposit. Kick-off times subject to broadcast confirmation. Finals Weekend fixtures are decided by final tournament standings and confirmed on 21 November 2026 — the Finals Weekend package is sold as a weekend of Test rugby, not as a named fixture.

Before you book

Questions we get asked

Is Field Trip an official agent or partner of any tournament, league or governing body?

No. Field Trip is an independent South African sports travel operator. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official agent of any tournament, league, club, union or governing body. We source match tickets and hospitality through licensed trade suppliers and debenture holders, and we show you the ticket category and the delivery method before you pay.

What is included in a rugby package?

Your match ticket in the category you choose, three nights' hotel accommodation on a room-only basis, and booking and ticket fulfilment by Field Trip. Flights, travel insurance, meals, visas, city tourist taxes, airport transfers and match-day stadium transfers are not included — we quote them separately on request.

Are your prices in Rand, and are they per person?

Yes. Every price on the site is per person in South African Rand, based on two people sharing unless it is marked single. Quotes are held against a published exchange rate until the date shown on your quote, and may be re-quoted if rates move materially before you pay.

How much deposit do I pay, and when is the balance due?

A 30% deposit secures your package and the balance is due eight weeks before departure. Match tickets are bought immediately and are non-refundable once issued. Hotel rooms can be cancelled free of charge until the hotel's own deadline, which we print on your quote.

Will our seats be together?

In most categories yes. Where a category cannot guarantee it, the Build Your Trip page says so on that category before you select it, and we repeat it on your quote.

How and when do I get my tickets?

Most tickets are delivered digitally, either as an e-ticket or a transfer into the organiser's own app, between one and ten days before the match depending on the organiser. Tickets are issued in traveller names, so the names on your booking must match passports.
