Ireland U18 Schools Squad Announced Ahead of National Camp

The Ireland U18 Schools squad, sponsored by PwC, has been named for a three-day national training camp taking place at the IRFU High Performance Centre, during the Halloween break.

The camp will bring together some of the country’s most promising young players from schools across all four provinces as preparations continue for the upcoming 2025/26 season.

The group includes several players who featured for the Ireland U18 Schools team during the U18 Six Nations Festival in Vichy, France, and the South Africa tour earlier this year,  including Frank Maher (Terenure College/Leinster Rugby), Luke Coffey (Blackrock College RFC/Leinster Rugby), and Charlie O’Connor (RBAI/Ulster Rugby).

The camp will provide players with the opportunity to continue their development within the national pathway under the guidance of the IRFU coaching and support staff.
