The Republic of Ireland's record 11-0 win over Georgia last night in their FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 qualifier in Tallaght Stadium also drew a record audience to RT 2 for an Irish Women's international.

An average of 209,000 viewers were tuned-in, while the game had a share of 18% of those watching TV at the time. Numbers peaked at 340,000 towards the end of the game. Additionally, there were 10,100 streams on RT Player.
