Wicklow Star Features On Stamps Marking 150th Anniversary Of IRFU

An Post has unveiled two new stamps marking the 150th Anniversary of the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU).

The stamp set comprises a national ‘N’ rate stamp for posting within the island of Ireland, and one ‘W’ rate stamp, for posting worldwide.  

They feature action shots of professional and young club players to showcase the leadership of the IRFU in promoting Irish Rugby on a world stage and developing the game at home. 

Four photographs of top level adult players, Josh van der Flier (a native of County Wicklow) and Béibhinn Parsons, as well as young club players Sam Kidd (Banbridge) and Charlotte Fleming (Ballinasloe) capture the essence of the game. 

The eye-catching stamps, and special First Day Cover envelope, all by Irish designers Unthink, are available at selected Post Offices nationwide and online at anpost.com/IRFU (with free delivery).
