Munster's Heineken Cup quarter-final clash with Perpignan will take place at Lansdowne Road.
IRFU spokesman Philip Browne has revealed that a decision had been taken prior to the start of the season to stage any home quarter-final fixture involving an Irish team at HQ.
Each provincial branch was involved in the decision at committee level.
The quarter-finals have been scheduled for the weekend of March 31 – April 2.
