Gaelic members clear the way for Irish 2023 World Cup bid

March 23, 2013 10:00
DUBLIN (Reuters) - Irish rugby's governing body won the backing of their Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) peers on Saturday to use their stadiums, including the 82,300-capacity Croke Park, in a potential bid for the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Buoyed by New Zealand's hosting in 2011, a country which has a smaller population than the island of Ireland, the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) is considering making a formal bid for the 2023 tournament but needed the support of the GAA to do so.
