Azzurri to face France and Ireland after victory against Wales in Rome.

Italy will play a total of three home games in the 2025 edition of the annual Six Nations rugby union championship which ends on 15 March.

After beating Wales 22-15 on 8 February, the Azzurri will face France on Sunday 23 February at 16.00 and defending champions Ireland on Saturday 15 March at 15.15.

All three Italy matches take place at Rome's Stadio Olimpico or Olympic Stadium.

The 15-match tournament - contested by England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales - will see Italy play two away games: against Scotland in Murrayfield on 1 February (31-19) and against England in Twickenham on 9 March.

All sides will try to avoid being handed the dreaded "wooden spoon" - for finishing in last place - which last year went to Wales.

This year, rugby fans in Rome with Six Nations tickets will be offered free admission to 25 museums in the capital on match weekends.
