Saint Patrick's Day Test

The Saint Patrick's Day Test (also known as the Donnybrook Cup) is an international rugby league football match played between the United States and Ireland . The game is usually held on or around March 17 to coincide with Saint Patrick's Day. In 2020 the first two fixtures were regarded to full international status as the Ireland A teams for those two games were upgraded to senior national status, due to the similarity of the squads involved in those games.[1]
