- The Ireland Wolfhounds (formerly Ireland A and Ireland B) are the second national rugby union team of Ireland, behind the Ireland national team. They previously competed in the Churchill Cup together with the England Saxons, the national teams of Canada and the United States, as well as a selection of other nations' 1st, 2nd and 3rd representative sides (including Scotland A and the New Zealand Maori). They also played against other Six Nations countries' A sides during the Six Nations. They have intermittently played touring sides, namely South Africa in 2000, the All Blacks in 2001 and Australia in 2006. On the 21 June 2009, Ireland A won their first Churchill Cup, beating the England Saxons 49–22 in the final. They also won the Churchill Plate three times in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Initially named Ireland B, the side was redesignated to Ireland A from the 1992–1993 season. They were once again renamed the Ireland Wolfhounds in January 2010. This name was inspired by a nomadic invitational side, which competed between 1956 and 1987 against other club sides throughout Ireland. The Wolfhounds have not competed in a competition since the IRFU declined to compete in the 2016 Tbilisi Cup. Ireland A played their first match in over seven years against the All Blacks XV in November 2022 at the RDS losing 19–47. (en)

- La nazionale A di rugby a 15 dell'Irlanda, inizialmente nota come Irlanda XV e più recentemente Ireland Wolfhounds ed Irlanda Emergenti, è la seconda selezione nazionale maschile di rugby a 15 dell'Irlanda sotto la giurisdizione dell'Irish Rugby Football Union. Negli anni duemila l'Irlanda A partecipò ad alcuni incontri di categoria, tra nazionali "A", nell'ambito del Sei Nazioni, oltre che, occasionalmente, ad incontri di tour internazionali. Dal 2006 al 2009 essa prese parte a quattro edizioni consecutive della Churchill Cup, piazzandosi seconda nelle prime tre e vincendo l'ultima battendo in finale l'England Saxons col punteggio di 49-22. Nel gennaio 2010 la seconda selezione nazionale venne ridenominata Ireland Wolfhounds, in riferimento al levriero irlandese (in inglese Irish wolfhound) già sinonimo di rugby in Irlanda per lungo periodo tra il 1956 e il 1987. Nel 2013, complice la scarsa attività dell'Ireland Wolfhounds, venne formata la selezione Irlanda Emergenti (in inglese Emerging Ireland) per disputare le competizioni minori organizzate annualmente dall'IRB (poi World Rugby), organo di governo del rugby a 15 a livello mondiale: Tbilisi Cup 2013 e 2015 e Nations Cup 2014, aggiudicandosi quest'ultime due edizioni dei tornei.
