France proved too strong, with Ireland going down 12–36 in the quarter-finals. The start of the professional era was disappointing for Ireland, who finished bottom of the Five Nations Championship three years in succession (1996, 1997 and 1998) and lost to Italy three times, at home (29–37) and abroad (12–22 and 22–37). <a href="/wiki/Warren_Gatland" title="Warren Gatland">Warren Gatland</a> took over as coach in 1998, but was unable to produce immediate success.

In a play-off, Ireland were beaten 28–24 by Argentina, marking the first time that Ireland failed to reach the quarter-finals. From this nadir, however, Irish rugby improved. The Irish Rugby Football Union converted the four representative provincial sides into de facto club sides, and the formation in 2001 of the <a href="/wiki/Pro14" class="mw-redirect" title="Pro14">Celtic League</a> (now called the <a href="/wiki/Pro14" class="mw-redirect" title="Pro14">Pro14</a>) provided Irish provincial sides with regular competitive rugby. The move to provincial professionalism was a significant success, relying on strong provincial identities long recognised in Irish sport. The advent of the new Six Nations format coincided with this Irish resurgence. In 2001, Ireland finished second. <a href="/wiki/Eddie_O%27Sullivan" title="Eddie O'Sullivan">Eddie O'Sullivan</a> took over as coach in November 2001 after Warren Gatland was sacked.

This has led to issues surrounding the flags and <a href="/wiki/National_anthem" title="National anthem">national anthems</a>. When Ireland international matches used to be played alternately in Belfast and Dublin, the British national anthem "God Save the King/Queen" was played before matches in Belfast and the national anthem of Ireland "<a href="/wiki/Amhr%C3%A1n_na_bhFiann" title="Amhrán na bhFiann">Amhrán na bhFiann</a>" was played for matches in Dublin. No anthem was played at away games. With the advent of the Rugby World Cup in 1987, anthems became more of a feature of matches. With the World Cup being hosted by Australia and New Zealand, Ireland's stance of having no away anthem began to stand out. Ireland used "<a href="/wiki/The_Rose_of_Tralee_(song)" title="The Rose of Tralee (song)">The Rose of Tralee</a>" for their match against <a href="/wiki/Wales_national_rugby_union_team" title="Wales national rugby union team">Wales</a>, but it was not well received and in the subsequent matches no anthem was played. In early 1995, a new anthem, "<a href="/wiki/Ireland%27s_Call" title="Ireland's Call">Ireland's Call</a>", was composed for the team, as the position of having no away anthem became unsustainable.<a href="#cite_note-IrelandsCall-75">[75]</a> It is played at games held anywhere in <a href="/wiki/Ireland" title="Ireland">Ireland</a> and overseas matches.

On this occasion, only "Ireland's Call" was played. The debate over anthems continues to some degree, with some players and supporters arguing that "Amhrán na bhFiann" should be played overseas, while others arguing that the British National Anthem should be played before Belfast matches (when they occur).<a href="#cite_note-RightAnthem-77">[77]</a> The position of the IRFU is that outside the Republic of Ireland only "Ireland's Call" is to be played.<a href="#cite_note-AnthemDebate-78">[78]</a><a href="#cite_note-79">[79]</a> At the <a href="/wiki/2011_Rugby_World_Cup" title="2011 Rugby World Cup">2011 Rugby World Cup</a>, <a href="/wiki/2015_Rugby_World_Cup" title="2015 Rugby World Cup">2015 Rugby World Cup</a>, <a href="/wiki/2019_Rugby_World_Cup" title="2019 Rugby World Cup">2019 Rugby World Cup</a> and <a href="/wiki/2023_Rugby_World_Cup" title="2023 Rugby World Cup">2023 Rugby World Cup</a> the Ireland team entered the field of play at the beginning of their matches with the Irish tricolour and the <a href="/wiki/Flag_of_Ulster" title="Flag of Ulster">Flag of Ulster</a>.<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Home_grounds">Home grounds</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ireland_national_rugby_union_team&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Home grounds">edit</a>]</div> The traditional home of Irish rugby is <a href="/wiki/Lansdowne_Road" title="Lansdowne Road">Lansdowne Road</a> in Dublin, where most of Ireland's home matches were held. The stadium was rebuilt between 2007 and 2010. Naming rights were sold to an insurance company, and the venue is now referred to as the <a href="/wiki/Aviva_Stadium" title="Aviva Stadium">Aviva Stadium</a>. The original stadium, owned by the Irish Rugby Football Union, was built in 1872, and so the venue continues to hold the distinction as the oldest still in use for international rugby. In 1878 the ground hosted its first rugby Test, with Ireland playing host to the English (the first representative rugby match had taken place prior to the Test, a game between Ulster and Leinster). Lansdowne Road had a capacity of just over 49,000 before it was demolished in summer 2007. The redeveloped stadium seats 51,700 and was opened in May 2010. The final Irish Test prior to work commencing on the remodelled stadium was against the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Islanders_rugby_union_team" title="Pacific Islanders rugby union team">Pacific Islanders</a> in late 2006. With Lansdowne Road unavailable for use, Ireland was without a suitable home ground for the subsequent Six Nations.

The Hall was created in 2006 as the IRB Hall of Fame when the sport's governing body of <a href="/wiki/World_Rugby" title="World Rugby">World Rugby</a> was known as the International Rugby Board. The separate <a href="/wiki/International_Rugby_Hall_of_Fame" title="International Rugby Hall of Fame">International Rugby Hall of Fame</a>, which had inducted five Ireland players, was merged into the IRB Hall in 2014, shortly before the IRB adopted its current name of World Rugby.
