Páirc Ui Chaoimh in Cork last year when Munster played a South Africa Select XV | PICTURE: Sportsfile
MUNSTER RUGBY have confirmed today that both their URC interpro derby in Thomond Park against Leinster on St Stephen's day and their fixture against Crusaders in Páirc Ui Chaoimh in Cork in 2024 are now sold-out.
An incredible combined total of 66,485 tickets have been snapped up for the two games.
It is obvious to see the huge attraction to this year's Christmas game against rivals Leinster as it will only be the second Christmas Interpro derby in the past four years with the 2020 and 2021 editions both postponed.
The game kicks off on St Stephens day at 7:35pm in front of a full house of 25,600 supporters in attendance for the eagerly-anticipated clash.
Munster's clash with New Zealand super rugby team Crusaders is also a sell-out spectacle that will take place on February 3, 2024 in Páirc Ui Chaoimh, Cork.
It will be Munster’s second-ever game at the Páirc after the hugely successful sold-out clash against South Africa A last November.
A capacity crowd of 40,885 is expected to make their way to the once off game in Cork against the current super rugby champions.
This game with Munster will act as a pre-season tour for the southern hemisphere team who will also travel to Bristol to take on the bears on February 9 at Ashton Gate.
