NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Dublin will host Ireland’s first NFL regular-season game when the Pittsburgh Steelers play at Croke Park in 2025, the league announced Friday. The announcement came two days before the Chiefs and Eagles meet in the Super Bowl in New Orleans. The Irish capital joins Madrid and Berlin as first-time hosts next season as the league continues to expand its global footprint. The NFL announced earlier this week that a game would be played in Australia in 2026. The Steelers have long-standing ties to the Emerald Isle and a partnership with the Gaelic Athletic Association, which operates Croke Park. The date and Pittsburgh’s opponent will be announced this spring.
