The GAA and the Australian Football League have confirmed that the International Rules series will resume in October.
Two test matches will be played in Limerick and Croke Park on the 23 and 30 October respectively.
GAA Director General Páraic Duffy and AFL Chief Executive Andrew Demetriou have been in contact on a number of occasions since the New Year and the two organisations have agreed to resume the series in October.
'We are delighted that the Australians are back in Ireland to play this year and we are all looking forward to an enjoyable two games in October.
Each player deems it a great honour to put on an Irish jersey in an international setting and values the experience of playing with players from other counties' commented Páraic Duffy.
The series was not played in 2009 after the impact of the world economic situation in early 2009 prompting the AFL to ask the GAA to agree to defer the series for 12 months.
