The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) is due to deliver its bid presentation to the World Rugby Council in London on Monday (September 25).

Speaking ahead of the presentation, tournament bid director Kevin Potts and IRFU chief executive Philip Browne have promised a tournament full of Irish spirit that will "capture the imagination of the world and help to drive rugby’s global momentum, thanks to Ireland’s unrivalled network of emigrants - the diaspora".

"This bid represents the hopes and aspirations of the entire Island and is focused very firmly on the future," Potts said.

"It presents World Rugby with a compelling proposition that combines all the advantages of a traditional rugby market with the many opportunities of a new one.

"This bid is grounded in certainty through unparalleled Government support, the availability and suitability of sold out, iconic stadiums set in the heart of cities and towns, and, of course, Ireland’s unrivalled access, through our diaspora, to the North American market.

"A key part of our vision is to support the growth of rugby worldwide - by using the Rugby World Cup in Ireland to connect with the wonderful support of the Irish diaspora worldwide, particularly some 40 million in North America alone.

"Through the diaspora and Ireland’s existing, proven platforms with them, this tournament will set new records for travelling fans and connect with new audiences for the game internationally."

While exact details of the financial package being offered to World Rugby remain confidential, the IRFU are confident that it will be the largest delivered to the international governing body and the most secure, thanks to the "unrivalled commitment" of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland Governments. 

The IRFU believes that a Rugby World Cup in Ireland also provides World Rugby with an "unsurpassable opportunity" to bring the Rugby World Cup to another new host.

It highlights Ireland’s "world class tourism market", "iconic" stadiums and training venues and the "ease" with which teams, fans and supporters will be able to travel from venue-to-venue as some of the main plus-points of the bid.

"Ireland’s commitment is underlined by the fact that Rugby World Cup 2023, from the turn of the decade, will be our sole focus in terms of a major international sporting event, ensuring no distractions for key host authorities and no competition for the attention of Irish sports fans and sponsors," Browne said.

"Ireland is truly ready for the world - ready to host the world and ready to promote rugby throughout the world.

"This bid has the total support of the Irish Governments.

"We can guarantee that Ireland has the capacity to deliver a wonderful Rugby World Cup in 2023 which will have the backing of people throughout the island."

The winning bid will be announced at World Rugby’s Council meeting on November 15.

Last week, it was confirmed Irish rock stars Bono and Bob Geldof, as well as actor Liam Neeson, would play key roles in their country's efforts to host the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

According to The Irish Times, supporting video messages from the trio will form part of the bid team's submission to the World Rugby Council on Monday.

In addition to music from U2, the band in which Bono is lead singer, the video will include Geldof's rendition of WB Yeats' poem The Lake Isle of Innisfree.
