Sports Illustrated reported on September 24, 2025, that the Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Minnesota Vikings in the National Football League’s first regular-season game to be held in Ireland. The report's title suggests Croke Park is a particularly suitable international venue for the Steelers. This inaugural game in the country is scheduled to take place at the historic stadium, which has a notable connection to the Pittsburgh football organization.
The connection is rooted in the history of the Steelers' ownership, the Rooney family, who previously contributed to the renovation of Croke Park. The source material does not detail the specifics of the renovation or the timing of the family's involvement. The upcoming matchup between the Steelers and Vikings will be the first regular-season NFL contest played in Ireland.
