The New York Jets are pleased to announce their first-ever official watch party in Ireland will take place in Dublin this December. The NFL franchise invites fans to join them at Buskers on the Ball (13-17 Fleet St, Temple Bar, Dublin, D02 WD51) on Sunday, December 8th, as they take on the Miami Dolphins in an AFC East clash at MetLife Stadium.
The team has created an evening of entertainment for fans, with exciting brand giveaways and the opportunity to win a variety of exclusive Jets merch. The event will allow existing fans and those new to the NFL, to immerse themselves in the thrilling atmosphere of an NFL game day.
The Super Bowl III winners share New York City’s strong bond with Ireland through their iconic green and white uniforms, which were chosen by former owner Sonny Werblin due to his birthday falling on Saint Patrick’s Day.
Talking ahead of the event, John MacCarter, Vice President of Finance and Analytics for the New York Jets said:
“We are so excited to confirm that the Jets will be heading to Dublin for our first official watch party in Ireland. Events like these provide the perfect setting to engage with our lifelong supporters while welcoming new fans into our family. The Jets are honoured to have such a strong and passionate following in Ireland, and we hope next Sunday’s watch party is the first of many exciting fan activations we will host in the country in the years to come.”
Advance tickets are now available for €8 at Universe.com and include a complimentary drink — redeemable for a pint of draft beer, cider, house wine or a soft drink. Additionally, all attendees will receive a one-of-a-kind New York Jets custom scarf, presented by Avery Dennison, as part of their ticket purchase.
Members of NY Jets FC, the team’s international membership club, will also be eligible for an exclusive prize raffle on the night of the event in Dublin. Fans can sign up for NY Jets FC for free here to ensure they don’t miss out and unlock many exciting other benefits for international fans.
The watch party marks an exciting milestone for the Jets in Ireland as their first official fan activation in the country since they were awarded rights to expand their brand and activities in Ireland as part of the NFL’s ‘Global Markets Program’ in March 2024. The initiative provides all 32 NFL clubs the right to pursue and bid on international markets with the goal of globally expanding the game of American football.
As excitement builds around the watch party, tickets are expected to sell quickly, and therefore, fans are advised to secure their place promptly. Please note the event is strictly for 18+, and further information is available here.
