Authentic 2019 Ireland Rugby World Cup Long-Sleeve Jersey by Canterbury

Secure an exceptionally desirable piece of modern Irish rugby tournament history with this original 2019 ireland rugby world cup jersey long sleeve edition, manufactured by Canterbury of New Zealand.

Japan 2019 World Cup Heritage & Clean Tournament Aesthetics

This 2019 ireland rugby world cup jersey long sleeve showcases World Rugby’s strict “clean kit” regulations, completely free of main front shirt sponsors. Built on Canterbury’s technical VapoDri performance fabric, the shirt features a rich emerald green torso offset by subtle tonal geometric sleeve patterning, engineered crossover collar, and full-length sleeves finished with structured elasticated cuffs.

The chest proudly displays the official 2019 Rugby World Cup Japan tournament emblem embroidered on the right, balanced by a 3D rubberized IRFU shamrock crest on the left and Canterbury’s central performance logo. During the autumn 2019 showpiece in Japan, this iconic tournament kit was worn during memorable pool stage battles—including emphatic victories over Scotland in Yokohama and Samoa in Fukuoka—by leading national team figures such as Rory Best in his final international campaign, Jonathan Sexton, Conor Murray, Peter O’Mahony, James Ryan, Tadhg Furlong, CJ Stander, and Jacob Stockdale. Original long-sleeve World Cup tournament shirts in pristine condition are notoriously difficult to find on the secondary market, making this Large top an essential centerpiece for Irish sports memorabilia collectors.
