Saints and Hull FC are heading to Dublin in 2027

St Helens will face Hull FC in Dublin, Ireland, at the Laya Arena on Sunday 25 April 2027, as part of a landmark weekend of Rugby League in the Irish capital.

This news comes a day after Warrington Wolves and Wigan Warriors announced their clash in the Irish capital, which will take place on the Saturday (24 April).

The Saints will be the home side in their fixture against the Black & Whites, which will be a regular round of the Betfred Super League season.

Laya Arena, in the heart of Dublin, has undergone a €52 million transformation and officially reopened on the 5th August with the prestigious Dublin Horse Show. It is also the home ground of Leinster Rugby Union. With a capacity exceeding 20,000, the newly redeveloped stadium is among Europe's most modern sporting venues, delivering state-of-the-art facilities, outstanding hospitality and an electric atmosphere that makes it the perfect arena.

The event offers supporters the opportunity to experience Super League in one of Europe's most exciting destinations. With its rich sporting heritage, lively culture and renowned hospitality, Dublin has become an increasingly popular choice for UK visitors. It provides a vibrant setting for what promises to be one of the standout weekends of the 2027 season.
