Warrington Wolves and Wigan Warriors are set to meet in Dublin in 2027 in the first Super League fixture to be played in Ireland.
"This is another landmark moment for our club, for Super League and for the sport of rugby league," Warrington chief executive Karl Fitzpatrick said.
The fixture marks the second time Warrington and Wigan have met in Dublin, having previously faced off at Shelbourne Park in 1934 - while Wigan also played against Leeds in a Charity Shield fixture in Dublin in 1995.
It also marks another milestone in Super League fixtures taking place outside of the sport's heartlands, as the pair met in the inaugural Rugby League Las Vegas event in 2025, while Wigan also faced Catalans in Paris earlier this year.
"This is about creating an occasion that people want to be part of, whether they're lifelong supporters or discovering rugby league for the very first time."
