What is the name of the Irish rugby team national anthem?

Ireland's Call due to the team being from ROI and NI. Amhr谩n na bhFiann is about the fight the ROI had to become separate from the UK and that is way it is deemed inappropriate to be sung with a 32 county team. However when we play at home both songs are sung.





Ireland's Call


Come the day and come the hour


Come the power and the glory


We have come to answer


Our Country鈥檚 call


From the four proud provinces of Ireland





Chorus


Ireland, Ireland,


Together standing tall


Shoulder to shoulder


We鈥檒l answer Ireland鈥檚 call





From the mighty Glens of Antrim


From the rugged hills of Galway


From the walls of Limerick


And Dublin Bay


From the four proud provinces of Ireland





Chorus





Hearts of steel


And heads unbowing


Vowing never to be broken


We will fight, until


We can fight no more


From the four proud provinces of Ireland





Amhr谩n na bhFiann


Amhr谩n na bhFiann





Seo dhibh a ch谩irde duan 脫glaigh,


Cathr茅imeach briomhar ceolmhar,


脕r dtinte cn谩mh go buacach t谩id,


'S an sp茅ir go min r茅altogach


Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo


'S go ti煤nmhar gl茅 roimh th铆ocht do'n l贸


F茅 chi煤nas chaomh na hoiche ar seol:


Seo libh cana铆dh Amhr谩n na bhFiann





Curf谩


Sinne Firnna F谩il


A t谩 f茅 gheall ag 脡irinn,


buion d谩r slua


Thar toinn do r谩inig chugainn,


F茅 mh贸id bheith saor.


Sean t铆r 谩r sinsir feasta


N铆 fhagfar f茅'n tior谩n n谩 f茅'n tr谩il


Anocht a th茅am sa bhearna bhaoil,


Le gean ar Ghaeil chun b谩is n贸 saoil


Le guna screach f茅 l谩mhach na bpil茅ar


Seo libh cana铆dh Amhr谩n na bhFiann.





Cois b谩nta r茅idhe, ar 谩rdaibh sl茅ibhe,


Ba bhuachach 谩r sinsir romhainn,


Ag l谩mhach go tr茅an f茅'n s谩r-bhrat s茅in


T谩 thuas sa ghaoith go seolta


Ba dh煤chas riamh d'谩r gcine ch谩idh


Gan iomp谩il siar 贸 imirt 谩ir,


'S ag si煤l mar iad i gcoinne n谩mhad


Seo libh, cana铆dh Amhr谩n na bhFiann





Curf谩





A bhu铆on n谩ch fann d'fhuil Ghaeil is Gall,


Sin breacadh lae na saoirse,


Ta sc茅imhle 's scanradh i gcro铆the namhad,


Roimh ranna laochra 谩r dtire.


脕r dtinte is tr茅ith gan spr茅ach anois,


Sin luisne ghl茅 san sp茅ir anoir,


'S an b铆obha i raon na bpil茅ar agaibh:


Seo libh, cana铆dh Amhr谩n na bh Fiann.

A Soldier's Song (Amhr谩n na bhFiann in English)





We'll sing a song, a soldier's song,


With cheering rousing chorus,


As round our blazing fires we throng,


The starry heavens o'er us;


Impatient for the coming fight,


And as we wait the morning's light,


Here in the silence of the night,


We'll chant a soldier's song.





Chorus


Soldiers are we


whose lives are pledged to Ireland;


Some have come


from a land beyond the wave.


Sworn to be free,


No more our ancient sire land


Shall shelter the despot or the slave.


Tonight we man the gap of danger


In Erin's cause, come woe or weal


'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal,


We'll chant a soldier's song





In valley green, on towering crag,


Our fathers fought before us,


And conquered 'neath the same old flag


That's proudly floating o'er us.


We're children of a fighting race,


That never yet has known disgrace,


And as we march, the foe to face,


We'll chant a soldier's song





Chorus





Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!


The long watched day is breaking;


The serried ranks of Inisfail


Shall set the Tyrant quaking.


Our camp fires now are burning low;


See in the east a silv'ry glow,


Out yonder waits the Saxon foe,


So chant a soldier's song.





Chorus

What is the name of the Irish rugby team national anthem?
Irelands Call
Reply:currently the team have two, which makes sence as it is made up of both northern and the republic of ireland.





Northern Irelands is called: Ireland's Call


Republic Of Ireland is called: Amhr谩n na bhFiann
Reply:Since April 1995, a specially composed anthem, "Ireland's Call" has been used by the Irish team in away games. This has prompted some players and supporters from the Republic to complain that "Amhr谩n na bhFiann" should be played. At games played in Dublin "Ireland's Call" is always used alongside "Amhr谩n na bhFiann". This use of "Amhr谩n na bhFiann" has caused similar complaints from players and supporters from Northern Ireland. With Ireland's friendly game against Italy in the run up to the Rugby World Cup scheduled to be held in Belfast, there were calls for "God Save the Queen" to be used alongside Ireland's Call but this was turned down by the IRFU with the explanation given that it was not a 'home' match because the team would be playing "outside Ireland".
