Ireland are aiming for an unprecedented third title in a row, and begin their campaign against England on February 1 at the Aviva Stadium.
After this they'll play their second match against Scotland at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium on Sunday, February 9 - and there's still a chance to get tickets.
Ireland interim head coach Simon Easterby recently named his squad for the upcoming 2025 Six Nations Championship.
Easterby picked a 36-man squad, captained by Caelan Doris, with four development players.
He said: "Easterby said: “The Guinness Six Nations is one of the most keenly-contested competitions in the global calendar and there’s great excitement across the playing group and coaching team for this year’s tournament. Personally I’m hugely excited to work with a talented group and speaking to the players you can sense that they are up for the challenge."
Leinster loosehead Jack Boyle is the only uncapped player in the main squad, with development players Hugh Cooney (Leinster), Ben Murphy (Connacht), Cathal Forde (Connacht), and James McNabney (Ulster) all uncapped.
Plus Six Nations will see the return of Dan Sheehan, who has made a remarkable recovery after suffering an ACL injury July.
The team are aiming to become the first side to win three Six Nations titles in a row, and the first to win the tournament outright three times in a row since its inception in 1910.
They'll face Wales in the third round on February 22 at Millenium Stadium and France in the fourth round at Aviva Stadium on March 8. While their final match will take place on 15 March against Italy at Rome's Stadio Olimpico.
