Ireland will have two chances next November to get their first win over New Zealand.

The Irish Times has reported that the two sides are to meet in Soldier Field, Chicago on November 5th, before the second game in Dublin two weeks later.

The teams have not met since the 2013 classic between the sides which New Zealand won with the last score of the game. A Ryan Crotty try followed by an Aaron Cruden conversion gave New Zealand a 24-22 win.

The All Blacks have previously played at the home of the Chicago Bears in 2014. Over 61,00 fans saw the World Champions win the game 74-6.

It will be the first time Ireland have returned to America since a 15-12 win over the home side in Houston in June 2013.
