Pittsburgh Steelers will play at Historic Croke Park in the Irish capital, with their opponent not yet determined.
“I think the feeling you hear from all of us is the excitement of bringing a regular seasonal match to Ireland with Steelers and how special it will be. And yes, it will eventually come back to fans,” Peter O’REILLY, NFL’s Group Vice President of International Events said in a statement.

“We see Irish fans’ journey to games in London or Germany or elsewhere, but this is a game on Irish soil, in Dublin, at Croke Park and an opportunity to create an incredible atmosphere.”
Steelers played Chicago Bears in a 201 1997 game at Croke Park, which has a capacity of more than 82,000.
The Indianapolis Colts will be the home of a game at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, and Miami Dolphins will be the home of Madrid.
The dolphins play at Bernabéu, the Home Stadium of the Spanish football club Real Madrid.

Rams will be the homemaker when playing in Melbourne, Australia, by 2026. They will play at Melbourne Cricket Ground, a venue holding about 100,000 spectators, as part of a multi -year deal to have games in Australia.
“This is a big statement,” O’Reilly said. “Probably a few years ago you may not have thought this was a reality. I would say the commissioner, the 32 owners who are an obligation to become a real global sports property. It means to expand our footprint. That means that Go to different parts of the world and expose more fans all over the world, in this case fans in Australia and Melbourne, for our great sport.
O’Reilly also said the game in Melbourne is likely to be played in week 1 to give teams as much time as possible to acclimatize the difference in time zones.
The NFL was able to play up to eight games internationally by 2025. London hosts three of them, with the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns each being the home of a game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Jets will also be the home layer for a game at Wembley Stadium.
As international consumer markets go, Ireland would be by far the smallest that the NFL has entered into so far.
