Italy vs Ireland Tickets 2027 | Six Nations Rome
Gonzalo Quesada’s improving Italy welcome Ireland to the Stadio Olimpico for a 2027 Guinness Men’s Six Nations Round 2 clash on Saturday, 13 February, with action in Rome set to get underway at 14:10 GMT.
This is another opportunity for the Gli Azzurri to prove that last year’s progress wasn’t a fluke. They took the scalps of Scotland and England on Italian soil in the last edition of the Six Nations. Can they use the same blueprint to topple the Irish?
More than 70,000 supporters are expected to flock to the atmospheric cauldron of the Olimpico for this one and you can be among them with LiveRugbyTickets.

Italy vs Ireland, Six Nations 2027: match preview and head-to-head
This will be Italy’s first home game of the 2027 Six Nations Championship and follows their tournament opener in Scotland the week before, while Ireland are on the road for the first time after hosting old rivals England in Dublin in Round 1.
Andy Farrell’s Ireland saw Italy off at the Aviva Stadium in last year’s tournament, though the final scoreline of 20-13 was closer than many had anticipated pre-game. Indeed, the Italians actually led the contest before the Irish eventually ground them down.
Margins were similarly slim in 2025 when Ireland won 22-17 in Rome, in fact, the gap between the teams has been narrowing for a while now. Ireland have won 100% of their meetings with Italy since 2014, however, that lengthy winning streak has never felt under more threat.
The Gli Azzurri have been making positive strides under the instruction of popular head coach Gonzalo Quesada’s and in fly-half Paolo Garbisi, they wield one of the competition’s most accurate kickers.
Still, a positive Italian result here would still be seen as a major shock and would be another clear statement of their recent progress. However, if Ireland have genuine designs on dethroning France in 2027, then this is the kind of fixture they’ll need to win.
With so much riding on the result and so many narratives at play, anyone who books tickets for Italy vs Ireland will be attending a Six Nations contest of real quality between an improving underdog and a potential champion.

Stadio Olimpico guide
The Stadio Olimpico has stood as a sporting centrepiece to Rome’s landscape for a century. Sitting in the Foro Italico on the capital’s northern edge, the ground is about four miles from the city centre.
Hugging the river Tiber, the stadium is a stunning destination for sports fans, especially when the weather is right, though temperatures of between 12 and 14 degrees are likely to greet travelling Irish fans in February.
The food near the ground and around the city is delicious, and Irish fans will be safe to mix and wander as they explore the area before the game. Kick-off is just after 3 pm local time, so we recommend getting yourself to the gates an hour before that.
How to get to Stadio Olimpico for Italy vs Ireland
Metro and tram
Many matchgoers in Rome use these services to get close to the ground. You can get Metro line A to Flaminio, then tram 2 to Mancini, and from there, it’s a short walk across the Ponte Duca d’Aosta to the stadium.
From Termini, the total journey takes around 30 to 40 minutes once you are on the train. With the match set to finish around 17:00, fans should be able to catch same-evening trams and metros back into the centre. As always, expect platforms to be busy and waiting times to be longer than usual.
Bus and walk
There are bus services running from the city centre to the Foro Italico, though they tend to be slower than the Metro and trams. It is possible to walk from the city centre and many fans do choose to make their way to the stadium that way.
Driving and parking
There is limited parking available around the Foro Italico, though finding a space isn’t guaranteed. Roads around the stadium are also restricted on matchdays. For those reasons, we don’t recommend driving to the ground. Rome is a very tricky place to get around by car at the best of times.
Flights
There will be plenty of flights into Leonardo da Vinci International Airport from Ireland on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, though if you do plan to fly, book as far in advance as possible, as prices will increase to match demand. Non-stop services from Dublin to Rome take around three hours depending on conditions.
