The Leinster Rugby team will host the Hollywoodbets Sharks in their first home game of the 2025/26 BKT United Rugby Championship season. This highly anticipated match is set to take place at the iconic Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday, 11 October 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 17:30 BST.

Leinster enters this fixture with a strong track record, having secured a dominant 32–7 victory over the Bulls in the 2024/25 URC final. Their recent form includes impressive wins against Glasgow and Scarlets, showcasing their depth and consistency.

The Sharks, on the other hand, are eager to bounce back after a semi-final loss to the Bulls. Their recent performances have been a mix of draws and narrow victories, indicating a team in transition but always capable of surprises.
