The Ireland vs England football rivalry will be rekindled on September 7 as the pair go head-to-head at the Aviva Stadium.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’ll be the first meeting of the two countries in four years as they get set to lock horns in the opening 2024\/25 UEFA Nations League group F fixture.<\/p>\n

A new era beckons for both countries as managers Heimir Hallgrimsson and Lee Carsley will both take charge for the first time.<\/p>\n

The latter is a temporary replacement for Gareth Southgate. A positive set of results will mean he has a realistic chance of being named as his full time successor.<\/p>\n

Hallgrimsson fills the void left by Stephen Kenny. The 57-year-old was actually part of the Iceland coaching staff when they beat England at Euro 2016.<\/p>\n

A full 54 places separate in the FIFA World rankings<\/a> ahead of the meeting in Dublin. When it comes down to it, the match could be a lot closer than imagined.<\/p>\n

Here at Sportscasting<\/a>, we take a look back at the five most memorable meetings between Ireland and England.<\/p>\n

England 0-2 Ireland \u2013 September 21, 1949<\/h2>\n

The Ireland vs England<\/a> football rivalry started to gain traction when the visitors became the first non-British team to beat the Three Lions on home soil.<\/p>\n

Con Martin\u2019s first-half penalty and Peter Farrell\u2019s second-half strike were enough to down the English at Goodison Park. It may have only been an international friendly, but it was certainly a historic victory for the Irish.<\/p>\n
