The Irish Rugby Football Union announced that it "has submitted a bid to host the Women's Rugby World Cup in August 2017 at locations in Dublin and Belfast," according to RTE. Irish Rugby "intends to host the tournament pool stages at University College Dublin before moving to Belfast for semi-finals and finals at Queen's University Sport and the newly developed Kingspan Stadium." IRFU CEO Philip Browne said, "We hope that the growing interest in women's rugby in Ireland, world leading facilities at UCD, Queens University Sport, Kingspan Stadium and our internationally recognized reputation for being one of the world's most welcoming nations will make an Irish bid the standout submission for the 2017 tournament" (RTE, 3/2).
