The Ireland Wolfhounds (formerly Ireland A team) are the second national rugby union team behind the Irish national side. They have previously competed in the Churchill Cup together with the England Saxons and the full national teams of Canada and the United States as well as selection of other nations' 1st, 2nd and 3rd representative sides (including Scotland A and the New Zealand Maori). They also play against other 6 Nations countries' A sides during the RBS 6 Nations. Now and again they would also play touring sides for example they played 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 have also won the Churchill Plate three times in 2006, 2007 and 2008. They were renamed Ireland Wolfhounds as of February 2010.
