The Ireland WNT will play their home games at Tallaght Stadium and the Aviva Stadium as part of the UEFA Euro 2025 qualifying play-offs.
After beating France in their final group A3 game in July, the Girls in Green secured a seeded spot for the play-off series, which will be played over two rounds.
In round one of the play-offs, Ireland will take on Georgia in a two-legged tie with the second game scheduled for Tuesday, October 29 in Tallaght Stadium.
If Ireland progress to round two, they will play either Wales or Slovakia over a two-legged tie with the home game to take place in the Aviva Stadium at 7.30pm on Tuesday, December 3.
The winner of that tie will book a place at Euro 2025 in Switzerland.
Ireland WNT head coach Eileen Gleeson said: "We’re delighted to have both Tallaght Stadium and the Aviva Stadium confirmed for the European qualifying play-off stages.
"Tallaght Stadium has played a huge part in the journey of the Women’s National Team and we look forward to experiencing another incredible experience generated by our wonderful fans.
"Should we progress to Round two of the play-offs, the Aviva Stadium will be a fitting venue for what could be another historic milestone in Irish women’s football."
She continued: "Playing in front of our home fans is always an honour for the team. The support of our fans makes a huge difference for the girls and to potentially finish our Euro 2025 qualifying campaign in front of a packed Aviva Stadium would truly be magical.
"For now, full focus remains on Phase 1 of the qualifiers and our games versus Georgia. We look forward to seeing everyone back in our home stadiums soon."
Ireland last hosted Georgia at Tallaght Stadium in November 2021 when they secured a record 11-0 win.Â
