This is the new Ireland rugby shirt 2016/17, the Irish national rugby union side’s new home strip for 2016/2017. Made by Canterbury, the new 16/17 Irish rugby strip was officially unveiled by the IRFU on May 30, 2016.
The new uniform will first see action in Ireland’s June tour to South Africa. With the Boks rebuilding under a new coach and Ireland also having several South African born players in their own squad (CJ Stander, Quinn Roux etc), Joe Schmidt’s side will fancy their chances of springing an upset in the Republic
Vodafone are official sponsors of Ireland’s new 2016/17 home rugby shirt, as can be seen in the pics below. They replace Three on the front, with the deal reportedly worth €50m (over 10 years)

New template, wonder if other Canterbury teams will update theirs for next year.
Switch things up a bit and you’re looking at the new Lions shirt.
This is a much much better template from Canterbury I could see me getting this Ireland rugby home jersey last Ireland jersey I had was a Puma Ireland jersey as I felt Canterbury was a step backward in Kit manufactures but this buy the looks of it could have the ability to change my mind depends of how well it is made & price time will tell.
Looks sharp.
Irish Rugby has a lot of love for mobile operators. They’ve gone from O2 to Three and now Vodafone.
I’d love to see T-Mobile in there 😀
I really like Canterbury’s 2015/16 England and Bath shirts and I hope they don’t make they don’t make them like this Ireland one for 2016/17, though I feel that they probably will.
For this particular Ireland shirt, I think the white stand-up collar makes it look a bit like a dog collar and now all I can think of is Father Ted, which in and of itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing but it’s not really what I’d want from a rugby shirt!
