The British & Irish Lions kick off their 2025 tour with the 1888 Cup, as they host Argentina at Aviva Stadium in Dublin on June 20. 

The Lions will head to Australia for a full schedule of matches against club teams and a trio of games against the Wallabies, but before they do, Andy Farrell’s squad meets Los Pumas in what marks the Lions' first fixture on Irish soil. 

Both teams have named lineups that blend experienced internationals with emerging talent, and while the Lions boast significant individual quality, this match will test how quickly they can develop cohesion.
