The Ireland Men's Under-15s celebrated a 3-2 victory over Cymru in their final game of the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan.

This was Ireland's 10th game of the inaugural tournament that had 189 nations involved. It was a 21st v 22nd Play-Off Final in a 8v8 format played across two 20-minute halves.

Ireland opened the scoring on 12 minutes when St. Patrick's Athletic ace Conor Hudson raced onto a through pass and applied a cool finish past the Cymru goalkeeper.

Cymru then netted twice, on 16 and 19 minutes, to take a lead into the interval but the Boys in Green were not about to let this contest slip away.

Ireland got their second goal on 25 minutes after Tom Casey slipped a pass inside to Shamrock Rovers club mate Harry Rehill and he fired in from close range.

The winning goal arrived on 36 minutes after a move that involved six Ireland players exchanging passes with Nathan Power setting up Gearoid Moran to smash the ball in off the underside of the crossbar.

This was Ireland's seventh win of the tournament, where they scored 29 goals in total, and they finished 21st overall in Tier A.
