Accreditation will remain open for media organisations until the end of June 2017. Media will be accredited with a tournament pass to enable them to cover all venues over the five match days, however journalists and photographers will be asked to advise the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) communications team on which fixtures they intend to cover, once accreditation has been confirmed.

Media who are not already registered on the IRFU accreditation platform will be required to do so.
