The Canterbury designed shirt will be worn by Niamh Briggs and her team-mates during next month’s tournament in Ireland, and 500 have been made available for supporters to pre-order here.
With the World Cup badge emblazoned on the front, the limited edition jersey is on sale for €85 and will be released on 17 July.
“We are delighted that Canterbury has launched a supporter’s jersey to mark our team’s participation in the historic Women’s Rugby World Cup 2017 which will be played out on home soil. This comes at a time when interest in Women’s rugby is at an all-time high,” IRFU commercial director Padraig Power said.
Hosts Ireland have been drawn in Pool C alongside Australia, France and Japan with Ton Tierney’s side opening their campaign against the Wallabies on Wednesday 9 August.
The group stages will be played in UCD before the tournament heads north for the knock-out rounds, with Ulster’s Kingspan Stadium and Queens University to stage games.
