It’s always great to receive an individual award like this…
Wexford native, Aoife Wafer, has been named Guinness Rugby Writers of Ireland Women’s Player of The Year.
The Wexford native was part of the immense Ireland Women’s team that secured qualification for both the WXV1 and 2025 Rugby World Cup after a dramatic final-round game against Scotland.
Speaking on her award with Irish Rugby, Aoife Wafer said:
“Being named the Guinness Rugby Writers of Ireland Women’s Player of the Year is a true honour. I’m so proud of everything we’ve accomplished as a team this year, and I’m incredibly thankful for the support of everyone who has been a part of this journey. I’m looking forward to what’s next and continuing to grow as a player and a teammate.”
The award marked an incredible season for the Wexford woman. In 2024, she was also nominated for the Six Nations Player of the Year.
