Leinster and Vodacom Bulls to Meet in URC Grand Final rematch

The fifth United Rugby Championship Grand Final will take place on Friday, June 19 at Dublin’s Croke Park, where Leinster and the Vodacom Bulls will face each other in a rematch of last year’s decider.

After two stellar semi-finals in Edinburgh and Dublin, Leinster and the Bulls secured their places in the 2026 URC Grand Final, where Leinster will defend their title against a Bulls side appearing in their fourth league finale in five years.

As the highest-ranked team in the Grand Final, Leinster (2) will have home advantage and, for the first time in the league’s history, the game will take place on a Friday night, with kick-off at 7.30pm UK/8.30pm SA.

Due to venue availability, Croke Park is the only suitable stadium available in the Dublin and Leinster area that weekend.

Ticket information will be made available at www.leinsterrugby.ie.

The game will be broadcast live in the UK and Ireland on Premier Sports, with SuperSport screening all the action in South Africa.
