RTÉ have secured the TV rights for Ireland's matches in the new Autumn Nations Cup which will include games against England and Wales.

The eight-nation tournament replaces the autumn internationals, which RTÉ had held the rights for. It will run from November 13 until a finals weekend on the weekend of December 5/6, with RTÉ covering the games on TV and radio.
