Ireland Anthem

With the Ireland rugby team representing both Eire and Northen Ireland, "Ireland's Call" was scripted to help cross sectarian and national divides and adopted as the rugby anthem in 1995. However, at home matches in Dublin the first verse of the Irish national anthem, 'Amhran na Bhfiann', is also sung (see below).

Come the day and come the hour,
Come the power and the glory,
We have come to answer our country's call,
From the four Provinces of Ireland

Ireland, Ireland,
Together standing tall,
Shoulder to shoulder,
We'll answer Ireland's call.

Ireland, Ireland,
Together standing tall,
Shoulder to shoulder,
We'll answer Ireland's call.
