An IRFU report published today has said they will invest €1 million annually into women's rugby.
It comes after the failure of the Irish women's team to qualify for the last World Cup.
A dedicated Head of Women's Performance and Pathways is to also be appointed to oversee the game, while Gemma Crowley has been announced as Team Programme Manager for the Women's 15s side.
Thirty specific recommendations were made in all to the IRFU after an independent review, with the IRFU saying they have formally accepted all of them.
