Ireland have been drawn alongside The Netherlands in the pool stages for this year's women's Hockey World Cup.

The sides met in the last World Cup final, which Ireland lost 6-0 in 2018.  

Germany and Chile complete Pool A, with the tournament due to begin in July. 

Captain Katie Mullan spoke in the wake of the draw

“We’re so excited after watching the draw for the World Cup this summer.

“It will be fantastic to play the Netherlands in their home stadium and to face Germany who we played last year in Tokyo.

We know Chile are an up-and-coming team and will be very well prepared this summer so that will be another brilliant game to look forward to.

We are super-excited, see you in July.”
