The International Rules Series (IRS) is a men's international rules football series played between two teams: an Australian team (selected by the Australian Football League) and an Irish team (selected by the Gaelic Athletic Association).

The first series was played in 1984 and the most recent was held in 2017. The series was meant to return in 2020, but it was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Australia and Ireland have both won the series 10 times each, with Australia being the most recent champions.
