The 2011 Rugby World Cup was a landmark campaign for Ireland. Drawn in Pool C alongside Australia, Italy, Russia, and the USA, the Irish team produced one of the shocks of the tournament with a famous 15–6 victory over Australia in Auckland — a match that instantly became part of Irish rugby folklore.

Ireland topped their pool unbeaten before meeting Wales in the quarterfinal, where they bowed out after a hard-fought battle in Wellington. Despite the result, the tournament showcased the grit, skill, and leadership of a golden generation led by Brian O’Driscoll and Paul O’Connell.

This signed jersey is a rare collector’s item — a tribute to one of Ireland’s most iconic World Cup campaigns and a must-have for any true rugby fan. This authentic 2011 Rugby World Cup Ireland jersey has been autographed by the full squad who proudly represented Ireland in New Zealand — a team that delivered one of the nation’s most memorable tournament moments.
