The Ireland national under-20 rugby union team was formed in 2006 and had previously been known as the under-21 team. It takes part principally in the Under-20 Six Nations Championship, which it has won five times, in 2007 (as the under-21s), 2010, 2019, 2022 and 2023, and in the World Rugby Under 20 Championship, where it has finished as runner-up twice, in 2016 and 2023. The side has won the Grand Slam four times and in 2022 and 2023 became the only nation to win two consecutive Grand Slams in the tournament. Its streak of fourteen straight Six Nations victories, a tournament record as of 2026, ended with a 3-19 defeat to England in the first game of the 2024 tournament.
