Another weekend of Guinness Six Nations will be another indicator of how the Irish public supports this team.
Sunday afternoon’s match averaged 884,000 viewers, with a further 164,590 live streams on Virgin Media.
The same broadcaster averaged 297,700 live streams for the Scotland vs. France match in Cork on Saturday night, and 265,400 and 46,300 for the Ireland U20s vs. Italy match in Cork on Friday night. I watched it.
Last year’s match against France was the first time more than a million people watched a Championship match, 22 per cent more than the number of spectators who watched Ireland beat England to win the Grand Slam in 2023. exceeded.
Normally it would be more difficult to get the same level of excitement in a game against Italy, where Ireland are favorites with over 30 points, but that is not the case this year.
The same game in 2022 averaged 495,900 viewers, making it the 20th most-watched sporting event of the year.
This year’s numbers are a staggering 77 percent increase over 2022, which would have been the most-watched sporting event of the year.
Last year, that number increased to 648,000 people, but in terms of engagement, this is another realm.
