The Ireland International rules football team is the representative team for Ireland (both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) in international rules football, a compromise between Gaelic football and Australian rules football. The team is made up of Irish players from the Gaelic Athletic Association and Australian Football League.

Prior to 2006, an Under 19 and Under 17 team had participated in a similar series, while a women's representative team participated in 2006 only. Currently, the Irish national team plays at least one of its home games at Croke Park, with recent alternative venues being Pearse Stadium in Galway in 2006 and the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick in 2010.

At present the only team Ireland plays is the Australian international rules football team, on an annual basis. As of 2011, Ireland have won six of 12 series, lost six to Australia, won 12 of 24 test matches played and participated in two draws, all since the 1998 Series.
