Summary
Aer Lingus College Football Classic kicks off this week in Dublin
The game, this Saturday at 5pm, marks the start of the 2025 U.S. College Football season, also known as Week Zero.
Starting today Dublin will come alive with high-energy Pep Rallies, official tailgating pubs supported by Guinness and Teeling Whiskey, and the Global Ireland Football Tournament (GIFT) at Energia Park on Friday, featuring a double-header with U.S. high schools taking on the NFL Academy UK and Ireland’s U19 Wolfhounds.
The games offer huge publicity potential, practical economic benefits, and a genuine expression of the close ties between Ireland and the U.S. as well as providing a much-needed boost to Irelands’ tourism and hospitality sector.
