How the board is built

A player makes the board when they were born in Ireland or came through Irish clubs and schools, and when the roster confirms where they are this season.

Confirmed

Named on the club or college's published 2026/27 roster, or announced by the club itself.

Likely

Strong evidence, such as a signing report or last season's roster with eligibility left, without the official page yet.

Unconfirmed

Irish connection settled, this season's team reported but not yet on a published roster. Shown with a dashed tag until it is.

On the desk

A further 47 names are being verified, including players whose Irish connection or 2026/27 team is not yet settled. They appear here when the check clears. Spotted a gap? Tell Orla.
