History
The IRFU announced the creation of the Wolfhounds and Clovers women's teams in December 2023. [1] They replaced a Combined Provinces team, which competed in and won the inaugural Celtic Challenge season in 2023. With only two places available for Irish teams in the competition, the IRFU opted to merge its provinces: the Wolfhounds represent the provinces of Leinster and Ulster. Their shirt features the colours of both provinces, Leinster's blue and Ulster's white. The IRFU stated that the two teams may select players from the other two provinces to balance the teams and cover all positions. [2]
The Wolfounds' first match took place on 29 December at Musgrave Park in Cork, the Wolfhounds won 21–15. [3] Undefeated, the team were crowned champions at the end of the 2023-24 Celtic Challenge season. [4] Fourteen players were called up for the 2024 Six Nations. [5]
The Wolfhounds won the Celtic challenge for a second time in the 2023-24 season, losing only one game. [6]
