Steelers to play Vikings in Ireland for historic game

The NFL announced on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, that the Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Minnesota Vikings in Ireland on September 28 at Croke Park in Dublin.
This event is the first regular-season NFL game ever played in Ireland, following extensive negotiations and a near €10 million funding commitment from the Irish Government for security and logistics.
The Vikings will become the first NFL team to play consecutive international games in different countries this season, with their Dublin appearance followed by a London game against the Cleveland Browns.
Steelers President Art Rooney II called the game a "dream come true" due to the team's Irish roots, while NFL UK GM Henry Hodgson confirmed ticket sales will begin mid to late June with entry-level prices starting around £85.
The game highlights the NFL's strategy to expand its international presence, potentially establishing Dublin as a regular host and boosting local tourism, despite some scrutiny over public funding of the event.
