Munster to host Barbarians in unique Thomond Park double-header

Munster will face the Barbarians in an historic double heart at Thomond Park on Saturday, September 30.

The province's men's and women's teams will both face the Baa-Baas in Limerick.

Thomond Park last hosted the Barbarians in November 2017 and on the same day history was created as the first-ever Barbarians women’s fixture took place, with Munster providing the opposition.

While this will be the first time the men’s sides face each other, the world’s most famous invitation side played Tonga and Ireland on their previous visits to the venue.

Back in 2009, Thomond Park hosted a provincial double-header with the women’s squad playing Ulster in the interpros and the men’s squad playing Benetton Treviso in the Heineken Cup.

Family ticket packs starting from €40 for two adults and two children. MRSC and 10-year ticket holders will receive a 10% discount on all ticket categories for a limited time, with further details emailed to priority groups.

Tickets are available to buy from munsterrugby.ie and the ticket offices at Musgrave Park and Thomond Park.
