The United States women’s national team has scheduled a pair of friendly matches in June against the Republic of Ireland.

The teams will meet in Commerce City, Colo., on June 26 and in Cincinnati on June 29, the U.S. Soccer Federation announced Monday.

The USWNT will also play a third match on July 2, with an opponent and location to be determined.

The U.S. and Ireland last met in April 2023 when the Americans swept a pair of matches in Austin, Texas, and St. Louis ahead of the FIFA Women’s World Cup where both teams were participants.

“Ireland is one of the most difficult European teams to play against, so I’m happy we could get these games,” said U.S. head coach Emma Hayes. “We need to play teams that will push us and create an environment where our players have to solve problems and play under pressure.

“We’re still early in our process of building towards World Cup qualifying for ’27 and we still have a lot of growth to go as a team and as individuals, so these summer matches at these great soccer venues will once again provide a platform for the players to show their abilities to excel at a high level.”

The June 26 game in Colorado at DICK’s Sporting Goods Park is scheduled for a 9 p.m. ET start. The June 29 match at Cincinnati’s TQL Stadium is slated for 3 p.m. ET.

The U.S. has won all 15 previous meetings against Ireland.
