<p>This will be the second time the U.S. have hosted Ireland in a pair of international friendlies in recent years, with the USWNT sweeping them in April 2023 in matches in Austin, Texas and St. Louis, Missouri.</p><p>"Ireland is one of the most difficult European teams to play against, so I’m happy we could get these games,” said Hayes. “We need to play teams that will push us and create an environment where our players have to solve problems and play under pressure. We’re still early in our process of building towards World Cup qualifying for ’27 and we still have a lot of growth to go as a team and as individuals, so these summer matches at these great soccer venues will once again provide a platform for the players to show their abilities to excel at a high level.”</p><p>The U.S. has played Ireland 15 times across the program's history, and won every match.</p>
