The UEFA Nations League is a biennial international competition contested by the senior men’s national teams of UEFA member associations. Teams are split across four divisions (Leagues A, B, C, and D), with promotion and relegation between them each edition. The four group winners in League A advance to a knockout Finals round, while results across every league can also feed into European Championship qualification play-offs. Group matches are played during FIFA international windows in September, October, and November.

Israel play their home games at Sammy Ofer Stadium in Haifa, Israel, and compete in the UEFA Nations League. Republic of Ireland play their home games at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.

Israel and Republic of Ireland are both competing in the UEFA Nations League, where group results determine promotion and relegation between Leagues A, B, C, and D for the next edition.
