Australia will again select only All Australian players for its International Rules team when it travels to Ireland for the 2015 series in November.

After the success of the 2014 clash won by Australia in Perth, Ireland will host a return clash at Croke Park on November 21, re-establishing the series as an annual event.

Adelaide’s Brodie Smith and Patrick Dangerfield were part of last year’s winning team, and AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan said the players who revitalised the concept would be given first opportunity to represent Australia again.

Coach Alastair Clarkson and assistants Ross Lyon and Chris Scott will also return.

"It is extremely important that the Australian team give the best possible account of itself, as we did last year," McLachlan said.

"Those players who may not be able to join us post-season will only be replaced by someone who has earned All Australian selection through his AFL career as we remain determined to ensure the prestige and popularity of the International Rules series."

Along with Smith and Dangerfield, 2014 Club Champion Daniel Talia and veteran Scott Thompson are the four All Australian Crows who are eligible to play in the series. Any Crows who are selected in this year’s All Australian side would also become available for selection.

Australia last travelled to Ireland for the 2013 two-Test series won comprehensively by the hosts, who have welcomed Australia's the decision to select exclusively All Australian players.

"The success of last year’s one-test series has prompted us to continue with this format for 2015 with a view to re-igniting interest in the cross-code game in Ireland," GAA director general Páraic Duffy said.

"We look forward to welcoming the visiting AFL delegation to Ireland and I’ve no doubt they will be afforded the same warm welcome as previous years as they prepare for what is sure to be a competitive test."
